Grandma's Prayer/Lord Reply (Free verse) by jroday LORD! Why did you create someone who receives the hated stare?
Why do people think I'm useless?
Why do people think I should be Abused?
No good is what Iam "Labeled" When others want to keep me away...
My own family mistreat me, and you know this just aint right...
LORD! don't you think it's time to make a change?
Why dont you redo creation and make everyone the same?
LORD'S REPLY
Blessed are ye, When men shall revile you, and persecute you,and shall
say all manner of evil aginst you falsy, for
my sake.
Rejoice and be exceeding glad: for so persecuted they the
prophets which were before you.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs the kingdom of
heaven.
Iam the shepherd always watches over thee.
So get off your knees!
Look in the mirror and tell me what you see?
I MADE YOU IN THE IMAGE OF ME!

"As the persecuted Me, so they will persecute you."
blessed are the poor...period. that is the original ....you have Blessed are the poor in spirit,which is what the church changed it to so as not to put off, or otherwise disturb, the people filling up the collection basket.
Save it for church...
No, jroday quoted it right. Would you like the reference?
don't be stupid
I didn't say he misquoted. I said the source he quoted altered the original version to provisionally accomodate those who would have been put off by "blessed are the poor"
" Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ingnorance
and consciencious stupidity.going to church, and putting money in the basket does'nt get you in heaven.
what DOES get one into heaven?
Come on Eddie P. you already know.
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ingnorance
and consciencious stupidity" EXACTLY!!!!
cute last line with the setup. weak setup.
Good heavens. I had no idea the Lord made so many grammatical errors when He spoke. Then again, English is his second language.
Why did you delete your recent poem. I hope you did not change your mind because of something I said.
