WHY ME-WHY NOW

WHY ME-WHY NOW

I find myself feeling overly anxious 
These last few days 
My thoughts are of dying 
And leaving this human race 

I have read the Bible 
And heard a sermon or two 
I gave my life to the Savior 
But fear still pierces me through

Where is your faith, trust and believe 
The tongue of the so called righteous 
Lashes out at me

What about brotherly kindness 
Compassion and love 
Interceding on one's behalf 
For His blessings from above 

It's so easy to judge another 
When you are not walking in their shoes 
Condemnation before conversation 
And execution according to your rules 

But in a God I've never seen 
I must blindly trust 
Believe in His word 
And patiently wait for that heavenly touch.

Wilford Barker.

Hello Wilford, I sense some soul searching in this write. I also believe you brought forward a very common issue. We humans judge far too quickly, before we even know the innards of a person and their battles in life. I enjoyed your reflection on kindness and human compassion. If only we had more of it
