Watch The Hatred Burn

Christians can be judgmental even though Christ told us to judge is a sin. But it's important that we remember, not all Christians are the same.

————

Mama, take a look around at all your friends.

So piously locked in their position.

They’ve made up their minds that I’m a sinner.

Have they forgotten that to judge isn’t Christian?

Our LORD said as we judge we will be judged.

He warned us to be careful how we measure.

For, in every soul we judge unworthy

God sees His child who He treasures

They all insist I’ll go to hell for my desires

Because they it's a sin to be “like that”

They show me random verses from the Bible

Which to me are unreflective of facts.

Jesus choose to be silent on this topic,

He never spoke of same sex attraction.

Silence is not the same as condemnation

As attraction is not sin without action.

We all have thorns with which we struggle.

Their purpose is beyond our comprehension.

But compared to the struggle of our Lord

 Our thorns are too insignificant to mention.

 Other struggles don’t create so much wrath.

Neither do they cause so much concern.

I don’t dare discuss my thorn in church

For it will cause their hatred to burn.

So, I will rely on God’s help to bear my thorn.

For, I Know  His Grace will be enough.

I will ask Him to keep me from all sin

And I will pray for the church to find God's love.

I hope one day they see we’re not so different

Even though we struggle with different  thorns;

Still, in God's eyes we are all loved equally

And we all need His Son's blood to be reborn.
