Mary and Martha

Kurt Hardy

Luke 10:39-42

“Jesus, please tell Mary to help me with my chores

I need her to peel potatoes and mop up the floors.

I know she hangs onto every word you have said

But, could you tell her to set the table and make up her bed?”

Jesus said to Martha so tender and sweet,

“Mary’s tears from her eyes has washed my feet.

This day she has revealed the burdens of her soul,

And I’ve healed her broken heart and made her whole.”

Then Jesus looked deeply into Martha’s eyes,

“Martha, Martha do you realize…

how you strive for things in life?

I know your desire for it burns like a fire

To someday become a wife.

Caring for your family, always needs to be done

However, Mary has discovered that I’m God’s Son

She has chosen to give Me honor, this very day

And her reward shall never be taken away.”
