We Got It All Twisted

we always complaint about how bad we have it when we should look outside how many people have you pass today that could have last night almost died we gripe about the small things all caught up in our selfish pride while there are so many hungry battered children being constantly pushed aside you see that man with the sign begging to even work for a meal yet we chose to turn a blinds eye and never even yield and what about the woman we saw who husband had beaten her to near death we'd rather just leave it all up to the law than to offer just a little help don't forget that little boy smelly dirty and clothes all tethered from behind we would actually rather sit back and watch him be bullied than to allow someone see us being kind now think that man yesterday died from cold and starvation because you didn't care to yield the life you could have spared by just sharing a meal that woman passed away last night due to one more of her husband's brutal attacks the life you could have saved if you had not turned your back that little boy took his life due to harsh words and constant torment a life you could have kept from perishing if only a little time was spent we find it so much easier to just look away than to take the time to be nice then we have the nerves to say that we just cant wait to see CHRIST
