Standing Where?

It's easier to stand on principle than it is grace.

It's easy to condemn government programs that help the poor or needy when you've never been poor or needy enough to use them.

It's easy to assume the sick person doesn't take care of himself.

It's easy to hate capitalism and the greedy CEOs who won't give in to a strike.

And just as easy to hate those socialist union workers who are lazy bums who'd rather live off unemployment.

It's easy to say those people weren't born that way so they just need to straighten themselves out.

It's easy to stand against abortion and then refuse to help the single mother who is struggling to provide for her child.

It's easy to condemn your President instead of praying for him.

It's easy to say "Come quickly Lord and save us from this filthy generation!" and forget the millions who don't even know the Lord.

It's easy to get up on your soapbox and spit on the people below you.

I'm not saying you shouldn't stand.

I'm asking you to remember the grace in which you stand.
