“The King seeing the people, felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.”(Matthew 9:36)… Why say we believe but do not perceive, we say that we love but with a standard. Sometimes it’s disheartening when we don’t practice what we preach and acceptance comes with a price tag. The eye is indeed the window of the soul and in it we see the injustice, pain, suffering, and discouragement and yet we are too blind to look and see our own reflection along with it. We indeed raise our hands and our voices to show Him our love and yet we don’t reach out and speak the truth He suffered for. From the pit we are taken and opportunity was given and yet we deprive others. Much is indeed given so it’s just right that much is required. From the same lips we proclaim praise and discrimination. Social barriers are not there for the few to climb to get to the other side the way the social climbers do, but it’s there for us to tear down and bridge unity and healing. Service is not a pedestal for everyone to see. Image is not validated by strangers but by the people who render service to us. People who see us as who we are inside out. Why do the tears keep rolling out our eyes? Why say that we are not worthy of such, and how we say that we will do everything and anything for Him, and yet cannot show compassion for the oppressed, being the oppressor at times. Indeed we can share our faith and give hope but how about love? Love for the broken, oppressed and the poor. Is it hard to show love without an audience? Is it hard to give love without conditions? To teach love without restrictions?....... “The King reply, I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of the brother of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)
