The way some people talk
about faith it is as if they have mistaken Jesus for the thief!
Jesus is not the thief or
the robber. He has not come to steal…
He hasn’t stolen my reason
and intelligence and left me with superstition and blind faith.
He challenges me to study,
to weigh up the evidence and seek answers that make sense.
He hasn’t stolen my happiness or
my enjoyment of life and left me feeling and looking miserable.
He makes me laugh at the
days to come because I am secure in Him.
He hasn’t stolen my
creativity or spontaneity and left me dull and boring.
He calls me His poet and gives
me a million words for paint and brushes.
He hasn’t stolen my
freedom and bound me with a list of things I can’t do anymore.
He expects me to love my
enemies and pray for those who ill-treat me.
He hasn’t stolen my
compassion and left me cold-heart and judgemental
He cries over a lost world
and I cry with Him.
