If Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

If God can choose a professional doubter
such as Thomas, he can freely choose
both you and me.

If he can select a runaway such
as Peter to build his church;
he will not leave his contemporary
disciples in the lurch!

If he can forgive both Adam and
Eve, he can freely forgive
the least of these.
Including both you and me!

If God did not forgive
Abel's older brother Cain,
God was not the blame!
If God did not love
Esau, but loved Jacob
he is able to love
the rest of us.

Both Cain and Esau
were real live men,
but not repentant
sinners!
Both of them
were quitters!

If Peter denied Jesus
Christ, why did Jesus
not also deny him?

Jesus Christ first loved
Peter, even before Peter
loved and followed him!
