If you were God..

by royowen

If you were God would you choose me,
if I lacked wisdom, could not see?
Of all Earth's knowledge I had none,
could you forgive all wrong I'd done?

Because of crimes in jail I'd be,
if you were God would you choose me?
If I were maimed in wheelchair bound,
though blind or deaf, can't hear a sound.

If I were homeless, begged on streets,
and slept in doorways, or park seats,
If you were God would you choose me, to
and with your vote I'd disagree?


If I were coloured, not pure white,
could I be holy in your sight?
And though I were a refugee,
If you were God would you choose me?

Could you love me?

What is love's measure? It's always been the cross.
The definition of unconditional love is that not only that you love ALL, but you might even die for anyone, foe, homeless, , communist, liberal, rich, poor, maimed.
Impossible? Not for God, or Christ who died for mankind.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believe on Him would not perish, but have everlasting life.
