One Golden Rule

Jesus love the children
He also loves the ones
Who abuse, neglect and hurt them
Constantly doing harm

Jesus loves each “Christian”
Even those who abuse his name
His love contains no boundaries
It always stays the same

If his love contains no boundaries
Love the sinner not the sin
We should follow his example
To reach our heaven in the end

Whether a life is right or wrong
And at times we don’t agree
Learn a lesson from the God of love
Befriend someone who’s in need

Looking back the other way
With judgmental thoughts and stares
Places you with the sinner man
Whose compassion god has gave

Your life example should be a guide
To the love of God above
Show love and compassion to one and all
Or the tables will soon turn
