Awed By God

I When trouble comes Guilt is behind With Regret Ready and able (No time for pun on Cain or Abel) But don't give up on God Or even the vilest offender As the hymnist sang, if s/he truly believes Pardon from God one truly receives If you must --- Give up on the accusers, not on Jesus II I have been hurt by Christians As badly as by heathen, Jew and Hindu Yet a brother in Christ, or sister, Can heal with human words too As the accuser-humans hurt with theirs And thievery of all sorts, to boot! Don't shut your ears & heart to WORDS GOD USES WORDS TO HEAL almost all That other men and women kill

It's a blessing to have known Jesus through ones parents. I was 30 when I began to take Jesus seriously ("an acquired taste," for a Hindu nationalist). It's NATIOBALISM OF ANY KIND THAT IS CAUSINGVWARS, not God/Jesus. Study wars & it's civil& uncivil based on "ethnos" or ETHNOI, a la Russia & Ukraine.
