Where Do We Go From Here
I found out that I am not good today
Did you ever come to that conclusion?
You saw something that you wish you didn't see?
- some hidden prejudice, preconceived notions
It comes out of you
And no matter how you tried, it's still there
And you didn't do a good job at it
to get rid of it
It bothers me because I know it's wrong
And I shouldn't have it
I know it's ingrained in me
But by whom
I do not know
I made a very feeble attempt to get rid of it
But it won't go away
All the while I kept thinking
"that person probably sensed it"
"I don't want to make him feel bad"
"Why do I think that?"
"I have to try to get rid of it" (this perception)
The thing that bothered me was that I was making him feel bad
Because I think that, he must have sensed it
I don't want to make anyone feel bad
And if what I say or think is wrong
then it needs to change
Where do I go from here?
All my friends, well the majority of them resemble him - that guy
So why this sudden prejudice, this thought that jumped out of me?
I don't know but it grieves me
And I am sure it bothers Him more - God
Well God, you'd better deal with it now
You brought it to the surface
I didn't even know it existed
It is here
I know it exists
So only You can do
Only You can get rid of it
I trust in You
"for there is no respect of persons with God" (Romans 2:11)
And "my brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory" (James 2:1)
Well God You can start now
