we are all made in Gods' image
he loves us all the same
neither one is in his image no one   more than the other
all are equal no matter if we are  a sister or a brother
don't worry if someone tries to judge or critisize the way that  you look
for that's not what God's word says about us in his book
we all have great value
we all have great worth
he made us in his likeness long before our birth
if people took the plank of wood from  their eye
before looking at the speck of dust in thine or mine
then they'd see we all doing just fine
God made us all in his image
he loves us all the same
if any one tries to tell you anything different
recomend they go and read the scriptures again. Amen.

live and let live...it's the "ego" that causes both differences in "look" and in the actions of the "different person" and the people deemed "normal" both sides are letting their "ego's" play. Light & Love (as you are in feeling either side needs your absolution)

Isn't this one of the many issues that hurt the church? Our piety and being judgmental. We forget how we used to be so quickly when we judge other people. Love the scripture!

Anyone who is different by choice as in the style of hair or no hair(shaved head) by a beard, makes a statement about themselves and for some people this is hard to except. Like some of the youth that dye hair pink or purple or off shade of red this says something about that person if nothing else that they want to be different. They might be a very loving and geniune underneath but for some it is hard to get pass the hair. Like the way you put the situation. Sara

This is an excellent narrative poem. I like the essence of the piece and the continuity of the theme. It's very inspirational and is right on point. Great job! ~Joseph

Diane - Amen hon - I actually couldn't agree more even though my appearance has changed drastically over the last 6 years though I don't think it had much to do with my faith it was more of just not wanting the police to recognize me anymore, Which has worked by the way. I was walking in Chico the other day and walked right by Jose Lara who used to hassle me on sight and he looked at me and I could tell he was trying to figure out who i was - I just smiled - God Bless, YF4L, mj

As you say, it is up to god to be our judge. We need to look for the goodness in other and find a way to accept our differences. And truly, not one of us is better than another in God's eyes. We are all his children. Beautiful reminder of the scripture's true intent, Diane! Love, Carolyn

Great expression of the freedom we have in Christ. In our humaity we get the image thing--as well as most other things- way out of wack My church has accepted my beard as well as me and I hope I am as accepting of others who LOOK different than I do. God Bless you Charlie

Beautiful poem/prayer. Wishing everyone fit in the sandals of Jesus in lieu of the sandals of satan where the freedom of speech in not worshiped. Wishing you all the best.
