What Privilege Has Taught Me About Predestination

we all see them

we all ‘know’ them

these blessed

these favoured

these privileged

these whose golden platter

has no limit

they are our kings, our queens

our princes, our princesses

our Academy Award winners

(and losers)

those with more wealth

than debt can erase

those with more health

than life can efface

we may often say

“Why not I?”

we’ll not often say

“Why them?”

but follow and adore

abundant, uncounted blessing

God so readily pours

and if pours on them

on you, on I

would not His gift of life

also graciously pour

on those He claims His own
