The following was written by pastor Doug when a “lost sheep” was being pursued and responded by saying “Stop harassing me!”
Won’t Someone Please Harass Me!
If loving someone enough to want to have open honest communication with them at all times is harassment ...
... then please harass me!
If caring enough for someone that you want to know what is really and truly bothering them is harassment ...
... then won’t you please harass me!
If loving someone enough to hand them your heart, knowing they can and probably will stomp on it and carelessly and callously break it is harassment ...
... then please harass me, there are so few who will!
If refusing to let some one so very dear to you just pick up and walk out of your life without putting up a fight for them is harassment ...
... then please, please harass me!
If wanting the very best that God has for someone and their family is harassment ...
... then please, don’t ever stop harassing me!
If speaking the truth in love to those who are close to you is harassment ...
... then love me enough to harass some more!
If speaking to others about my spiritual condition so that I can be reconciled with God and others is harassment ...
... then please harass me by talking to each and every one that I know!
If telling someone what they need to hear instead of what they want to hear is harassment ...
... then please give me all of the harassment you can!
If being able to bring my gifts to the altar of God and offer them freely without having to drop them and go make something right with another is harassment ...
... then please, enlist the help of others in harassing me!
If taking someone who has lost his way and leading them back to the right path is harassment ...
... then please harass me!
If leaving the 99 other sheep to search for 1 that is lost is harassment ...
... then please harass me if and when it is needed!
The example played out for me may have been one of desertion during difficult times, but please harass me until I learn that there is a better way than what I may have known in the past.
Won’t you please keep on harassing me until I come to my senses and realize that I can’t lose such a friend as one who would harass me so.
