Gift of Discernment
I want to write a poem about judging a book by its cover
Yeah can you judge a book by its cover?
You bet
You can see what kind of person that person is
by looking at her/him
Don't tell me if you can't
You can tell a person strong or not strong
Weak or is a pushover
You can tell a lot by looking at him/her
You can tell if he has a chip on his shoulder
Or have the whole world at heart
You can tell if he is selfish
or have the heart of gold
It is called the gift of discernment
I don't know if everyone has it
But God gives you that to protect yourself
You shouldn't use that to hurt others
It is not something to play with
Did you ever think why God gives you that?
It is for a purpose
And only God knows
So if you ever think a person is something
Don't push that aside
Don't change it
You are changing it to the incorrect version
