God’s Blessing, God’s Forgiveness
they may be doing what you approve you may really enjoy knowing they do it but your approval doesn’t default as God’s nor does it follow that your blessing is also His He does not bless simply because you, or I, approve we live as we can bless as He blesses
they may be doing what you despise you may even condemn them for doing it but your sentencing doesn’t default as God’s nor does it follow that your judgement is also His He does not condemn simply because you, or I, despise we live as we forgive as He forgives
I wrote this poem on seeing the various reactions to the "Freedom Convoy" that made it to Ottawa this past weekend; I have friends, brothers and sisters on either side of the road. Some will bless those in the convoy for standing up for freedom and human rights. Some will condemn those in the convoy for their reprehensible words and actions. Both speak as though God will bless and condemn right along with them. But that's not how it works. God does not bless a thing simply because we're pleased with it, nor does God condemn a thing simply because we despise it. God blesses and condemns on His own measure, not ours. We are to follow His lead, not He ours. By doing His will we live.
