Why does it matter to you who I am?
Why do you care how I dress?
How is it your business what person I love
when Jesus' name I confess?
Am I not human? Am I not flesh?
Am I worth nothing at all?
What makes you think that you have the right
to condemn me and cause me to fall?
How is it that I am more sinful than you?
How is it that your sins don't count?
Where does it say that your soul is more pure
if your sins are a lesser amount?
Who made you God? Who made you Jesus?
Who died on the cross? Was it you?
When Jesus said "All who believe in me",
did he really mean only a few?
Where is the love of God in your life?
Where does the hate come from?
Who is the "sinner" that He came to save
and make clean when the kingdom come?
God is my Father and Jesus my savior;
You are my sister and brother.
The greatest command is first to love God
and second to love one another.
I am pleased that you want to publish the poem, though I cannot take credit for it. The recipient of a gift can't take credit for that gift, so I must give God the credit for everything I write.
Please feel free to share it as much as you wish, for freely it was given
to me so freely I give it to others, but please remember to give God the
credit for it and for all good things.
Your brother in Christ,
Joey
