These two questions keep echoing in my
soul
Who has power forgotten?
Who is religion oppressing?
The answer:
The convict
Minorities
The poor
The LGBTQ community
So often I search for the
easy answer
The neat package
The ‘safest’ route
But this is not what Jesus taught
Rather than easy, Jesus chose difficulty
Rather than neat, Jesus chose
the lepers,
prostitutes, and tax collectors
Rather than safety, Jesus
chose the
cross
Why should I think
that my path would be any different?
Jesus
The ultimate example
‘Let the one without sin cast the first stone’
Judgment is not mine to
bestow
I am called to love
The
convict
The minorities
The poor
The LGBT community
And more
Who has power forgotten?
Who is religion oppressing?
It is anyone who is not being shown love
Love is patient and kind
It does not boast and is not proud
Love is not rude and keeps no record of wrongs
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes and always perseveres
