When You Hate Another

"For GOD so loved the world..." (John 3:16)

John 10:16 (NASB)

¹⁶ And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become one flock, with one shepherd.

 

GOD did not die just for you and me

But HE shed HIS blood to cover

All of humanity and that

Means all ethnicities.

What do you do, when you hate another

Because he doesn’t look like you,

Are you loving others as GOD told you to?

Well, one thing about it

HE’s coming back one day

And I am making my preparations

So that I can go home with HIM to stay.

Just like HE called and Lazarus

Got up from the dead

HE will do the same for us

And we will be judged by the lives

That we have led.

And so I ask you, fellowman

The hatred that you harbor

Is it worth risking the welfare

Of your soul;

I think not, fellowman

For, today you act the way you do

To please others in your pack

Forgetting about the graces

That the SAVIOR told us not to lack.

If this little poem has made

You feel uncomfortable in the things

That you have decided to do

Then ease your conscience by

Loving others as yourself

Like JESUS told us all to do.

You know, it is strange how

Things sometimes work

You get a message from a

Source that seems to float on the air...

Well, I have long since learned

Not to worry about how

Such things could be so,

I’ve just learned to put GOD first

In everything, everywhere I go!

So, you feel guilty and have

Been doing so for a while,

Then start doing the things

That you know are right

And start putting the love of GOD first

In and out, of your compatriot's sight

For, the guilt on your face

Speaks volumes about how you know

That you are failing in the

Running of your race.

So, you feel that I am talking to you

Well, high and mighty fellowman

Since these words of mine

Coincide with what your conscience

Has been saying to you

Then take heed and do what

GOD would have you to

Because I can tell you this,

Your visage was implanted in my mind

As my fingers typed these words to/for you!

Why you; why me

I don’t know and I don’t care,

Maybe it’s like the virus

And travels on the air

All I know is that my work

On this poem is done

And it’s up to you fellowman

To think about what the Book of Remembrance

Will say about how, your race,

You continued to run.©️
