My blog spot will always be a place of raw unadulterated truth.What matter of men are we? We walk around filled with pride like we made ourselves.But it is he who made us not we ourselves. What scornful self-righteous pigs we are, our heads in the sky like we somehow floats amount the clouds, we who dwell in the bowels of this earth. Whose fresh stinks when we do not wash. Whose very waste we ourselves can not stand. Scorn, what is more evil than that contempt I’ll tell you; it’s the way we hide it and smile like a jackal in the faces of those we loathe.
Today I asked myself while working out what my heart wanted to say today and the blast that expelled itself from my soul was this message. In this day and age we have all been touched or know someone has been touched by AIDS directly or indirectly. Yet we walk around in this hidden scornfulness in your hearts toward those who have his plague of a disease which is wiping out some many we have come to hold dear and even love. While at work in the hospital on one of my internships I had a patient I was getting some blood from to run some test. I had on my glove and for minute I was distracted the needle went through the glove but passed to the other side without touching me. Later on someone told me, “Oh by the way that is an HIV patient”. In my heart I thanked God because it his grace and mercies I was not slicked. So I thank God.What bothers me so much is how we act like we are somehow above incidents. We shun those who are positive we who should show love. Its no wonder why people hide their status, it’s the fear of rejection that causes most of them to live in shame but those who should be shame ARE USE YOU ARE NEGATIVE. It is God’s grace that we are here, its his mercies that we have not come to harm and if he watches over us we should not fear.
“God as not given as a spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind”. Yet we fear to touch those who are honest enough to disclose something so intimate about themselves. We hurry to wash our hands as if it is spread through touch. Then we have to nerve to say we walk in his love. Hypocrites are we, its no wonder that love truly never finds us. Love is unconditional and if we can not love our neighbors unconditionally is God truly with us? No!We then love conditionally; I will love you as long as I do not know the truth about you. Come on never now, we never know dealt with that was positive; but they never told us they were.Yet those who do we can not bear the thought of touching them without wanting to wash as if they carried, The Black Plague. We must always be mindful that we never know what the future holds. Embraces those who are in need of love, who feel downtrodden, who feel aliened, who feel unloved because they are not as whole in body as you or I.
As a community let’s help, lets truly love and let hypocrisy die lest we find ourselves in the position of those we scorned.
