As you build yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting expectantly for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life (Jude 1:20-21; CSB).
We cannot build
A holy faith
By judging those
Who don’t behave like us.
We cannot build
A holy faith
By hating those
Who don’t agree with us.
We cannot build
A holy faith
By killing those
Who don’t share our beliefs.
We only build
A holy faith
By loving all our enemies,
And friends.
