Love Poem: Speak the Truth In Love

Speak the Truth In Love

When the name of
your Jesus
Gets dragged through
the mud
What do you feel
inside?
Hatred or love?
Does your heart
become angry
With the falsely
spoken words?
Or does it burn with
compassion
For the ones who
can't see Jesus is
the cure?
The cure for our
illness
The cure for our sin
The cure for our
selfishness
The hurt and anger
within
Do you defend to the
death
For what He already
died?
His TRUTH can stand
on its own
And behind us, has
no need to hide
Yes, stand for
Christ
Stand in His love
Go the extra mile
And point them above
Don't show them a
false Jesus
By your
representation of
His name
Show them you're
different than
others
Not "better" - but
not the same
Show them your
beautiful Saviour
The one who gave His
life for all
And then it is their
decision
To walk away or
answer the call
