Though you persecute me
and speak all manner of
evil against me
Yet will I love you and
forgive you..
For you may have a change
of heart because I have
not retaliated against
you..
You might see the necessity
for being tolerant..
Though you've held a certain
opinion that ran counter to all
about you..it may be that at
the 11th hour you will wish
to change your mind..
And you will be glad that I
tolerated your point of view
for so long..
It may come to pass that you
will stumble in life giving
me an opportunity to take
advantage of your weakness..
But because I hold a sacred
trust..I instead lift you up..
It may be that my power and
might is so much greater than
yours that there is no longer
reason that I should not crush
you..
But because you are sacred in
the eyes of a higher power..I
honor that power..
It may be that all your ideas
infuriate me that I'm compelled
to forsake your aquaintance..
But I hold on to your friendship
for I may in time see the truth
in your ideas..
It may be that you have no words
to describe your need to be free,
nor do you understand the clever
arguments used against you to keep
you in slavery..
But I fought to free you because
your freedom is sacred..
And because one day..you may set
me free..
It may be that your religion turns
out to reveal the true God..
And though I disagree with all you
believe..I must hold out..for I may
have been wrong..
What must be sacred among men is a
law of God and not of man.. for man
knows nothing of love until it is
shown him..
For when we have made every mistake
against one another..what is it that
keeps us from total destrution of
each other..
We dimly realize the sacred nature
of our self worth..and hopefully
realize the sacred in all..
Sacred me..sacred you..
