Too holy to be human,
yet clothed in flesh like mine
He cast a sinless shadow
on paths of Palestine.
Too ageless to be mortal,
yet blood and sweat and tears
He shed, as man of sorrows,
throughout His earthbound years.
Too tender to be tainted,
yet all our hate and greed
He claimed as His possession,
for which they made Him bleed.
Too truthful to be doubted,
yet lies are still retold:
“He did not rise on Sunday.”
“He’s in the grave still cold.”
Too gentle to be savage,
yet God Himself decreed:
He is the one appointed
to judge our brutal breed.
Too streetwise to be suckered,
yet some say He’s naïve.
He knows though all about you:
He knows if you believe.

Pathetic? That was inspired and brilliant.
Thank you.
He knows if you believe...
Great...
Well shouldn't everyone be just a tiny little bit... I don't know... for example... FREE...
To believe whatever we want or choose to, or even, hold no belief whatsoever...
However... in my most...
HUMBLE...
Opinion... such a thing should always... be... our own choice...
And never something that is an obligation, forced upon others...
That I call... a false-faith.
Some do seem... to believe...
In... I don't know... Hitler...
For a tiny example.
Oh well... so very nice... indeed.
Always be... FREE... to believe...
Whatever you want...
Or... believe some things... don't believe in others...
Or... believe... in NOTHING...
Whatsoever...
So sorry... as always...
Must somehow be MY FAULT...
Well... I choose not to believe in such.
Quoting... someone...
"Don't blame me, for the sorry state you're in" Ever...
My HUMBLE... opinion.
Many thanks for your kind comments and feedback. All I can humbly say is: if you're chosen, you'll believe. Again, I truly appreciate your taking the time to read my poor little rhymes.
Thanks man! Not so poor little rhymes. You should, in my belief give yourself more credit. Of course that being humble, is, in my opinon a good quality.
I do believe... in... choice... and... free-will.
If you are chosen, then you just are, and that's how things go.
If... you know your or the Bible or even the movies... or some.
Then you know that even JC... had at least that we know about... (pobably even more) a moment of... doubt.
"FATHER why have you forsaken ME?" Peace.
Thank you. Yeah, doubts are human. I often think of Teresa of Avilla's comment about God: "If this is how You treat Your friends, no wonder why You have so few of them!" Again, many thanks for your encouraging words.
