Oh God, you give us Life
And for our hatred Love
Into the darkness of our minds
Scoff at our holy claim
For they have not yet come to know
Oh God, we are not judges
But You alone can see
While man looks on the outward
You behold the heart of me
And I have but one prayer Lord
That I lift up to You
May You behold a heart of love

Last night my son and I were having a conversation as he was
battling with feelings of being judged unfairly by what another person assumed,
and we came to the conclusion that all we can give in return is forgiveness and
grace, the thing we hope to receive when we err because without meaning to we
all are guilty of assumptions or judgments occasionally. But it is love and
only love that we are called to do.
