"Brethren, If a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted" (Galatians 6:1)Pray don't find fault with the man who limpsOr stumbles along the road,Unless you have worn the shoes he wearsOr struggled beneath his load.There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt,Though hidden away from view,Or the burden he bears, placed on your back,Might cause you to stumble too.Don't sneer at the man who is down todayUnless you have felt the blowThat ccause his fall, or felt the shamethat only the fallen know,You may be strong, but still the blowsThat were his, if dealt to youIn the self same way at the self same time,Might cause you to stagger too.Don't be too harsh with the man who sins,Or pelt him with words or stonesUnless you are sure, yea, double sure,that you have not sins of your own.For you know, perhaps, if the tempter's voiceshould whisper as soft to youas it did to him when he went astray'Twould cause you to falter, too.Blessings AbunDantly - Denise
