So much of the failing
the estrangement from the church
the institutions of our faith
because it is easier to judge
to separate from one another
harder, far harder
to look past our differences
to see our sister, our brother
all of us the same to God
each of us a sinner
redeemed by the savior
made worthy by his sacrifice
able then to claim the name
all of us together
sisters and brothers under the skin
all of us children of God

my comment posted to this post:
“This is a very powerful message and one that needs repeating. We as Christian deny Christ when we do not live out the Great Commission by creating barriers, stumbling blocks to Christ. We must be sowing joy, not judgment, love not division, hope not condemnation, agape love not the values of the world. Only in this are we fulfilling our call, using our gifts for God’s glory.”
