Jesus is Crowned with Thorns (Meditation)

©  By Kathy Armijo

 

They placed a crown of thorns on Your head.

They gave you a military robe to wear,

And a reed as your scepter.

Then, they mocked you! 

 

Sometimes, when I stand-up for what is right,

I, too, am mocked.

The sadness that ensues

Is more than I can bear.

It makes me truly want to swear.

 

What good does swearing do?

It increases my blood pressure.

It makes me want to cry.

But, still I need to try

And fight my fight

For what is right.

 

The strength of my convictions

I use as powerful weapons

Against those who choose to mock

By trying to remember – 

It’s just a bunch of crock!

 

Help me to focus on

Engaging my mouth

Before setting it in motion.

To You I give my undying devotion.

I have always felt it so sad, Kathy, when in our society which affords the liberty of free speech, those who call it like they see it, are often scoffed and/or mocked for their beliefs. Thankfully, God knows our hearts, He sees who we are, and loves us regardless of others' opinions.
