Lumped in with the others
stained
by their words, their actions
regretting
the name, “Christian”,
the
name that I love.
Aching
for the travesty,
their
ways of injustice
bastardizing
the holy name
the
name of the living Christ.
Wanting
to scream, “STOP!”,
this
is not the way of Jesus
the
way of grace, of mercy,
the
way of the cross.
The
name I love become a curse
through
the actions of others,
even
through my own failings;
Oh
how there must be tears in heaven
when
the word, “Christian”, is spoken in anger
