The Child Of God

The Child of God poem is one I thought I lost, but fortunately, I was able to find it. This one is a little different and has absolutely nothing to do with blogging. I am and always have been a firm believer in God and Jesus but am not one to force it down peoples throat. I could never understand those religious zealots who continually try to force their ideas on others and have always felt that they are doing more harm than good.

Too bad they don’t behave as Jesus did while he was amongst us. The only time that I can remember when he was angry was in Matthew 21:12

‘And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves’

Other than that, He would go about preaching, and those who would listen did. There was no browbeating, and the disciples weren’t in the habit of whipping people into submission.

Anyway, I digress and certainly don’t want to start Bible bashing. Without further ado, I present to you;

The Child Of God

I am a child of God
I am saved for I believe
For those who judge me
Judge not lest thou be judged
For with what judgement ye judge
Ye shall be judged
Fools, know thee that only He judges
For there is no mote in God’s eye
Only He sees clearly to judge

Many are those who profess salvation
They are the haughty fools
Those who judge others
Not knowing their own lives
They raise their placards
Full of hateful slogans
Rather than bring others to God
Their actions turn them away
Better to offer another path
For those finding themselves in strife

Ours is not to force these to believe
But to lead the way in the hope
Those who follow may be saved
Those who refuse may not be ready
Their time may not be ripe
And none on earth can judge them

Many are those who profess to believe
Who visit the House of the Lord
They tithe and proclaim their love of Jesus
They place themselves on a pedestal
Seeing not the plight of the needy
Nor of those less fortunate
When they stumble upon the homeless
Living in their poverty and filth
They cringe in disgust and horror
And no helping hand is offered

Hypocrites! They are like the Pharisees
And yet even I cannot judge
Not knowing how I would react.
Was I to meet those in need
Even non-believers may offer a helping hand

Yet many live in fear of salvation
They ban religion from state schools
And crosses are removed from gravesites
On the pretence of offence
Many wrongful acts are committed
And innocents on both sides suffer

Atrocities occur in the name of religion
Yet none by the will of God
Mankind is the root of all evil.
For heretics who preach violence
Have a personal agenda
Inflicting pain and death
On infidels and innocent alike
All in the name of God
A God who does not need man
To fight for his righteousness

From birth until death we decide
Upon the path, we shall take
Though He is a merciful God
He has left us to our own devices
But we are not alone
The Spirit talks to those who listen

But many fail to follow
For the path is too hard
Though the prize is worth the hardship
Many will be lost to the glory and vices.
Offered by Satan and his followers
Some call it a conscience.
But whatever the name.
The choice we make is our own.

Yes, I am a child of God
And I place my life in His hand
