A Metaphor! O, Let's 'Delight' the Lord with Fair Scales(Pvb 11:1)! Pressing-on, Amen


Poem Artwork

Scales! Mine, yours, ours…others

my, my…how they do differ!

We fully grasp…that with repentance the weight

of our debts…flew…as we were forgiven

But we don’t take the time to walk in shoes of those

who too… have been wayward driven

Using not the scales upon which our trespasses

were duly weighed and alleviated

We search with venge for scales…altered

with balances …unfairly…weighted

Oh, that our scales were equal and the pardon

we so gladly received from God ourselves

Would readily and bountifully…without angst…

be extended to others…as well

Scales! Mine, yours, ours…others

my, my…how they do differ!

 

Lk 6:36, Prvb 11:1

We all have our weighing systems. God is the only one who needs no scale to perceive our worth. Lovely and inspirational Joyce, thank you.

I don't like being judged by some imaginary creator. I hope that I will be judged only by those who I have encountered and who have an impression of who/what I am from that encounter alone. Some good, some bad. But all in all, the scales should we heavily towards the good.

Scales indeed. They will be as different as there are different individuals in this world with different accounts. Beware the scales.
