“Open Harms”

people tend to yearn for acceptance
whether from themselves
or from others

I’ve heard countless people
come to God
relieved to be accepted by Him

how accepting is the church?

they claim to love you where you’re at

if a male couple came into church
holding hands seeking God
what would you do?
would you embrace them
welcome them into your life?

take that same couple
but a man and a woman
after unkown surgery
would you embrace them
welcome them into your life?

people tend to jump on banned wagons
and declare what’s wrong
instead of being what’s right

if Light boycotted darkness
what would happen

if Light ONLY stayed inside
would the doors be locked
