I can see you,
as I rest here in my
comfortable chair.
You are an image on
my T.V. screen,
A paragraph in
my newspaper;
I can hold you
arms length..
including you
in my prayers,
excluding you
from my life!
You are different.
we'd have nothing to say
to one another
I have my faith
safe and sanitised
comforting promises
undemanding
and yet
in my dreams
I hear these words
.
.
Matthew 25:41-45
"Then he will turn to the 'goats,' the ones on his left, and say, 'Get out, worthless goats! You're good for nothing but the fires of hell. And why? Because
.
I was hungry and you gave me no meal,
I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
I was homeless and you gave me no bed,
I was shivering and you gave me no clothes,
Sick and in prison, and you never visited.'
.
"Then those 'goats' are going to say, 'Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or homeless or shivering or sick or in prison and didn't help?'
"He will answer them, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you failed to do one of these things to someone who was being overlooked or ignored, that was me,you failed to do it to me.'
