Notes About The Poem
Acts 10:34"...God is no respecter of persons..."
[Strongs#G4381, prosopolepets: partial, not one who discriminate.]
Galations 3:28-29 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, Bond nor free, male nor female: For ye are all one in Christ Jesus. "
1 Corinthians 12:12-14
UNITED
UNITED
Conflict within my own mind,
Not knowing where to stand.
Deciding to take the time
To research and understand.
One must, when one aligns,
With one team or the other,
Walk a mile in their shoes,
To feel how they must suffer.
Every choice made by me
Filters through my faith.
Not what man says is True,
being fallible, we make mistakes.
God has granted us freewill
With every road we walk...
To the right or to the left,
A choice is what we want.
Our forefathers fought and died
On bloody battlefields...
To earn the right to decide
To pursue happiness and freewill.
Both ideals I look up to,
The standard I fall back on
The laws of God and laws of man
Will not lead me wrong.
Everyone of us has the right
To decide what truth really is.
If we think to limit this,
To my truth alone,
We steal the right for which we fight
To have our choice condoned.
For everything we take from them,
We are stealing from ourselves...
The right to choose is a gift
For us and them as well.
Who are we to say they can't,
When God says that they can?
He is the only one who knows
the heart, and the thoughts of man.
And when it comes to differences,
Race, gender, class, and more,
When Jesus died to save our lives
Those differences are now ignored!
For we become one in Christ
If we love Him and take his hand…
So divided we will surely fall
But united, now, we stand.
