"Before God can select you, the world must reject you. You can do it willingly, or God will help you accept the process of Election." ~ Roy E Stewart, Pastor, Green Meadow Missionary Baptist Church, 19805 “If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, Then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, In which you trusted, they wearied you, Then how will you do in the floodplain [ swelling, KJV] of the Jordan? 6 For even your brothers, the house of your father, Even they have dealt treacherously with you; Yes, they have called a multitude after you. Do not believe them, Even though they speak smooth words to you” (Jeremiah 12:5-6).
It must be Karma
It
must be that this is Karma,
To
endure this reality as my Dharma.
Stumped
I was when I heard one of them say,
“We need
you to adopt our way.”
I couldn’t get away from a long, pointing finger.
Backed up to a precipice, for safety, I had to linger.
“We need you to be like us –
Then you will earn our trust.”
“No,
there’s no rule, not a stipulation.”
To
be like them would be my capitulation-
To become
“like the rest of us - us and you,
"For harmony among us, this you must do.”
We
talk about this and not that.
Well,
I'd best not drop my hat,
Since
I could break a rule
When
they say there’s is no rule.
Yet,
that is used as a tool
To
attempt to train me in their school.
I
thought it was over,
But
lo and behold, it’s not over.
It’s
just under a new guise -
Dressed
in a cloak of the wise.
I'm
sure I'll fail the grade,
I'd
rather be in the Wisdom School
Not
run by factions torn apart and within,
Still
not looking in truth at their sin.
I
guess I must be a mirror,
But
my own mirror I hold dearer.
I
look to peace within for salvation.
They
think they have his elevation
In their
smug self-revelation, they claim as God’s.
