Judging Not

Hebrews 10:30-36

We know of those that thrive on vengeance,
Never rest until resolving their grievance;
Feeling that only paybacks is their reward,
Forgetting that they be judged by the Lord;
No fear falling into the hands of our God,
Who judges each one of us that has flawed;
Thinking of the days after seeing the light,
Going through the war of troubles to fight;
Attracted to anger and evil in public view,
Merely brings shame to gossip against you;
So maintain your wisdom to others be wise,
Always doing what is right in God's eyes.
It's human nature for in settling the score,
Someone that you despise and to deplore;
It is not the Christian way that you seek,
When you can not turn the other cheek;
You forgot an important rule of thumb,
That God will judge that kind of scum;
As we love our enemy to proclaim peace,
Allowing all of your hostilities to cease.
