Do you ever wonder
what would Jesus say
when He sees you
acting like this on
the face of His promises.
They'd say that the things
He says and does are in
conflict against the world
because we live for fickleness
instead of His Holiness.
Do you ever wonder
what would Jesus do
when He sees you
giving up like this
while He holds you for better.
They'd say that the matters
He plans and prospers are at
enmity with our existence
because we live for fame
instead of His mercy.
Do you ever wonder
what would Jesus think
when He sees you
sinning like this on
the face of His love.
They'd say that the actions
He performs and deals are in
war with our life's purpose
because we live for wealth
instead of His kindness.
Do you ever wonder
what would Jesus thought
when He sees you
giving in like this
while He makes you stronger.
They'd say that the results
He builds and corrects are at
a grudge against the universe
because we live for pleasure
instead of His example.

A/N: Okay, so... I don't usually write that many poems about my faith or God in central, but lately feel like the Spirit guides me to do it and I know it makes me reflect on what I believe and why I believe it. Following Christ and living your life by His example is much harder than it seems and it has its ups and downs(mostly ups) as we live in this world that sometimes blames or rejects us for our beliefs. Everyone has their own story in this and I'd never make it seem less important but what I do want to say is that respect is all there is to it; respecting your parents, respecting your siblings, respecting your neighbours, respecting the choices they make for their lives, no matter how different or even odd they may seem. One big thing we have to learn in this life is to be kind and understanding, not cruel and unwise. As harsh as it sounds, this is what kills us, not illnesses, not accidents, not even wars. Our actions are what lead to our inner(and physical) death. Think about that before you offend someone for their religious faith.
Oh, and do not forget to enjoy your summer!! It's already July and I always feel like I blink and we're halfway through it. Do something fun, have quality time with your family and go on road trips. Just have the best time and laugh when you cry and vice versa.
With love,
M.
