to GOD be the GLORY
~ Sandpaper Christians ~
By Deborah Ann
Sandpaper Christians,
grate on your nerves . . .
their abrasive thoughts
they don’t conserve.
Raspy and rough,
full of harshness
need God to replace
their heart of hardness.
Sandpaper Christians,
rub the wrong way
thinking not before
the words they say.
Like an emery board,
that’s lost its grit
forget they are filled
with the Holy Spirit.
Sandpaper Christians,
gruff and so bold
need to learn just how
their peace to hold.
Outspoken and snarly,
their words are brutal
need to seek how to make
their lips more fruitful.
Sandpaper Christians,
on the nerves grate . . .
need God’s wisdom
to set them straight!
~~~~~~
He that is void of wisdom
despiseth his neighbour:
but a man of understanding
holdeth his peace.
