I don’t want to do this,
I rebel, I make excused
I promise to love, but
with my fingers crossed
but that isn’t good
enough
that isn’t close to what
Christ said
we received a commandment
with no exception
no out clause, no margins
we are to love as Christ
loved,
as Christ loves us still
while we yet sin against
Him
while we spit cursed at
God
we are to love everyone
we are to love those who
hate us
who seek to do us harm
for that is Christ’s
example
that is how Christ loved
I am to love those who
hate me
who spit out insults,
curses
who seek to harm me
I am to love everyone
if I am to be his
disciple
