Favouritism Part 2

The last poem I submitted here, perhaps in February 2021, can be misunderstood by careless readers. I may be wrong in wanting to sometimes offer pithy poems. If readers are not familiar with the darker races of the global village, and how they achieved independence from European and US colonial rule, they miss the many nuances. In that last poem I also showed my ignorance and knee-jerk reactions in the youthful days in my native South Africa, by "hating favoritism and 'FAVOURites' in public discourse." Now that I am an evangelist, Pentecostal, I teach how to remain in God's grace and favour - by relying on Jesus' finished work on the Cross of Calvary. It is both imputed righteousness and imputed favour one enjoys as a believer in Jesus and the efficacy of His blood sacrifice for sinners since Adam and Eve. Fighting apartheid, hating privilege: Having "favorites" (?) - thus hating Favor Until Jesus THE WORD showed me Anoints His children, any color

Good Morning Anil. Hello. I have read your message and explanation above and I have read you entry below. I will not comment on your explanation and I will leave your entry your thoughts up to you. The more I've seen and learned that the more we comment or try to comment our thoughts are always misunderstood and the more we try to explain ourselves there are more misunderstandings. Just know this Anil, keep doing what you do for the world above sees all. Blessings always and yes Shalom always.
