Put On Love

Sometimes it is hard to do this,

to put on love.

We are told to hate the sin,

but to embrace

the sinner made in the creator's image.

How difficult is this,

when the iniquity

of pride

is celebrated by our world.

Sometimes it is hard to do this,

to be patient,

when all is crumbling in our midst,

when we are told that ungodliness is beautiful

and our creator is prone to mistakes.

We are told to let peace enter our hearts,

in these times.

Not just any peace,

but His.

Sometimes it is hard to do this,

to let God's word

enlighten wisdom

in the depths of our souls,

when daily

the world slanders

the giver of good things

and spits at the base

of His son's cross.
