I read this poem in a magazine in a hospital lounge.
I liked this and wished to share with you all
Judge not
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven’s door,
Not by the beauty of it all
Nor the lights or its décor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me splutter and gasp—
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my neighbor
Who never said anything nice.
But, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, ‘What’s the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How’d all these sinners get up here?
God must’ve made a mistake.”
And why is everyone so quiet,
So somber-give me a clue’
‘Hush, child,’ He said
‘they‘re all in shock.
No one thought they’d be seeing you.’
JUDGE NOT!!
Remember-Just going to church doesn’t
make you a Christian any more
than standing in your garage makes you a
car. Every SAINT has a PAST…..
Every sinner has a FUTURE! Life without
God is like an unsharpened
pencil.It has no point
I liked the last one the best. I had also come across it somewhere and I have used it in one of my blogs.

ReplyDeleteah! how nicely put this is. often we forget that we are as much open to judgement as freely we jump to judge others.
