Distribution of Your Love

Matthew 10:32-39

Whosoever bears witness of Christ to men,
Christ will give witness to God in Heaven;
But those who deny Him again and again,
Christ will too no acknowledgment given.

Do not think that He came to spread peace,
Not in promoting peace rather with a sword;
For conflict of father and son won't cease,
Or mother and daughter will find no accord.

As mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight,
While a man will be hated by his household;
As all family members will be full of spite,
All having been disregarded you been told.

If having more love for your son or father,
Than in Christ you aren't deserving of Him;
The same for love of a daughter or mother,
Your chance for Heaven will be mighty slim.

A desire to keep your life it will be taken,
In giving it up then it will be given back;
When you value earth God has been forsaken,
And then there will be nothing you shall lack.
