Standing Your Ground

He lowered his head Ashamed of the name they abused him with He stood up for his beliefs In return He gained mockery They hate him, but hate his master more Never realizing he is what they're truly searching for But they wont/ They just can't Sink to the "Jesus Freak's" level So they beat him....and spit on him Cursing out loud asking where's your precious "god" now? If he truly loved you he would save you The man just smiles through broken teeth blood gushing out of his broken nose "God, Forgive them for they don't know what they are doing." One day we may be tested in our faith Don't walk away, for he never forsaked you We might deal with curses, but he's paid the ultimate price I will never be anything without his sacrifice Stand firm and stand your ground Support your beliefs and never back down May the love of God be with us all As we celebrate his return one day

In that one moment alone Jesus showed his love for us as well as his enemys. How many of us could have done what our Lord did. this was a beautiful write Matt, you do have a gift from the Lord and are using it to lift Him up, which is a very good thing to do.
