We All Have One

We all have one...
Some more than one.
Sometimes we are better off
Not exercising it...
Because when we stop
To think about it...
It will hurt others
Including ones own self...
But some of us blurt it out
Scream it from out our lungs
Because we feel entitled...
Regardless of what another may feel...
What we think is irrelevant...
What about what we feel...
What about what another feels...
The innocent bystanders...
Our opinions can be like a drive by shooting
Rat-tat-tat-tat...that's just the way it is.. (Tupac)
How careless we can be with each letter
That turns into words... and into sentences...
Creating our phrases,  opinions,  and sayings...
They have the power to kill,  to bash,  to heal,  to care for,  to love,  to change our neighbor, our neighborhood,  our town,  our city,  our state,  our country,  our nation,  our continent,  our world...
Words formed into opinions can make someone's day or destroy someone's life...
Cause peace or start wars...
And in this I believe,
None of us are perfect...
If this is something we can believe
Then be the first to forgive...
Put down the stone from out thy mouth
And send love instead of hate...
Love changes hearts...
Love changes roads...
Love changes lives...
Love can change the way we communicate...
Love can make opinions facts...

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.

Galatians 2:20
And I live, now not I; but Christ liveth in me. And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered himself for me.

1 John 4:10
In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

If we can not love with our hearts...
Let us love with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ...
He could have blasted them
When they persecuted,  beat,  whipped,  tortured Him.
He could have destroyed the cross with a snap
Of His fingers, 
Instead He carried it to His death...
He must have humanly had opinions
Upon opinions about the pain He endured...
Instead He remained humble and chose
To love us so much that He said:

And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. But they, dividing his garments, cast lots.                     Luke 23:34

What a man,  what a human being,  what a child of God...  Jesus Christ was,  is,  and will always be... Before we think...  Pray...  Before you speak,  pray...  Before we send out messages...  Let us ask God if this is something He would approve of...  And before we judge another...  Let us remember this fact:

John 8:7
When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

Blessed be God...  Praise be to You Lord Jesus Christ...  Come Holy Spirit...  Ave Maria...  And all the Saints say: Amen.
