How can you claim to
really love the Lord
Like claiming peace
upon a bloody sword,
Such paradox reveals
your filthy sin.
If you desire to show
your love for God
You must forgive your brother
all his faults.
If not, the flame that
burns is but a fraud
Revealing that it's you
whom you exalt.
Look deep within your
heart for enmity
And pluck it out at
once this very day.
A Lover cannot harbour
enemies;
As vinegar in wine, it
does betray.
Tis better to confess a troubled soul
Than claiming to be well when you're not whole.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
If anyone says, "I love God," yet
hates his brother, he is a liar.
For the person who does not love his brother
he has seen
cannot love the God he has not seen.
1 John 4:20
