The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Intolerance



I stumble, I trip and almost fall the closer I get to the Lord
He is their to catch me, teach me, show me my souls core
As I look at the world around us, the burdens we all face
I am left to look within myself and erase any disgrace
I feel a sense of the emptiness that those in need feel
I hear the Lord urging me to help for this poverty most face is real
But I can say I don't have much to give
The Lord replies I am within you share yourself as you live
Time cost nothing and Pure Love is free
Share me with everyone and you will begin to see
Your heart beats the same as those in all of the earth
So you see there is no one for whom my love is not worth
Take me into the Hearts of every child women and man
Show them the simplicity of how to take my hand
We all need the Lord within our lives
He is our Shepherd our Savior, The Almighty Guide
Never feel abandoned for He is always there
Taking a quiet step back to let you shine under His care
He will teach you many ways to share His grace with all
Open your soul to all of Gods beautiful children break down indiferrences walls
He is our savior here to help us heal our wrongs
His virtues are for all to share from the weakest to the strong
Never say but their is nothing I have to give
For the gift of Gods Love is more powerful than any amount of Gold
This gift graces you with Love above the wealthiest of which you behold
No amount of money or wealth will ever set one soul at peace
Only Gods love can heal all and cause this poverty to cease
If we use this gift for the cause of helping mankind
If we share our blessings and leave selfishness behind
Those in need would diminish as we all come to see the light
The glow of the divinity of doing what we all know is right
Some may think ones poverty does not affect themselves
We have all had these thoughts of why should I help
Intolerance keeps us from sharing Gods love with each and everyone
Then maybe we should ask ourselves what would Jesus have done?
Or was there any intolerance from Mary when She gave All her only Son?

Romans 15

1We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me." 4For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
5May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, 6so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 8For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs 9so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, as it is written:
"Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
I will sing hymns to your name." 10Again, it says,
"Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people."11And again,
"Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and sing praises to him, all you peoples."12And again, Isaiah says,
"The Root of Jesse will spring up,
one who will arise to rule over the nations;
the Gentiles will hope in him."
13May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
