Shocked

[darrels joy]

I was shocked, confused, bewildered as I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all, nor the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven who made me sputter and gasp--
the thieves, the liars, the sinners, the alcoholics, the trash

There stood the kid from seventh grade who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor who never said anything nice.

Herb, who I always thought was rotting away in hell,
was sitting pretty on cloud nine, looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, "What's the deal? I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here? God must've made a mistake.

"And why's everyone so quiet, so somber? Give me a clue."
"Hush, child," said. He, "they're all in shock. No one thought they'd be seeing you."

Judge NOT.

Judge a Man by what you see in his Heart!



Do not judge a man by the color of his skin or way he worships God.

Do not think of him as sinful or dirty or even as if he was odd.

First, get to know him and find out what made him what he is today.

Do not be too quick to pass judgment upon the things you think you heard him say.

Take some time to get to know him and try hard to understand.

Know him as someone who can be your friend and maybe one who needs a helping hand.

Judge him by his ability to love and to accept the love of others.

Know that even if you have differences you are proclaimed by Christ to be brothers.

Jesus said, “If any man asks anything of you, you are to freely give.”

That includes the love you give as well as the ability to forgive.

So judge not your brother for as you do, you judge yourself as well.

If you are quick to proclaim their immortal death you may find yourself in hell.

So love your neighbor as yourself and never, ever forget.

God sees what you accomplish and he will reward you as he sees fit.
