" I FIGHT FOR THE RESPECT OF JESUS "

" I FIGHT FOR THE RESPECT OF JESUS "

Wasn't it Augustine who said,
"A person who humbly approaches
The fountain of sweetness.."
Will carry back with him
Arrogance or humility?......

I am not worthy of your consolation
My Lord,
Or any spiritual encounter.
You, should leave me poor and desolate
Treat me as I deserve
Even if,
I swam an ocean of tears
I would still, be unworthy of consolation
I deserve nothing
But to be forgotten,
For often have I offended your mighty nation
I admit,
That I deserve all condemnation
And contempt, should be my punishment
Even though it hurts me
To hear the words aloud
I should NOT receive your mercy
For I,
Am,
Your humble servant
And I,
Am not worthy
Of your,
Father's,
Love......

Tony Taylor   (Chicago)

T, you can intimidate the heck out of me sometimes, I feel like an ass trying to find a comment after reading this; this is stupendous write brother; I'm not even kidding...Augustine said that? Wow!  great quote; is that like the effect the sun has on clay and wax; hardens clay, softens wax; and I suppose we can't be both at the same time...oh men I feel good every time I read you,  a sense of 'humility' is coming from this write as well, I'm edified by reading your words, what can I say? Just sitting in appreciation,

'Wasn't it Augustine who said,
