I was reading Justin's FaceBook note and he wrote this poem in it. I was inspired for a blog about it. Therefore, here is the poem and then his blog link underneath. He does some amazing stuff and I'm honoured to be able to use this particular poem for a point.
I can't help but to think
about all that Jesus said.
What he said about men of the world
and how cold their hearts are
Yet he loved them still
even if they didn't return the favor.
He was still their Savior.
I want to be like Him
forgiving of an other's sins.
but i have my own problems
that keep me awake at night
and far away from that shining light.
What if I just took a stand
against all the cruelties of man
How would they outcast me?
If crucified blood would pour from my hand.
Though God is my Father
I don't believe I could walk on water.
So I'll just leave the saving to Him
and live my life for only me.
I hope that this does not make me cruel
I just wouldn't want to be abused.
So it's best for me to avoid the fire.
Because I'm no Jesus, no God, no Savior

In this poem, I think that Justin is completely right about staying out of the fire. However, I think that, eventually, everyone is put in a situation where you must face the fire you've always avoided. Avoiding will not always do it. The world is always going to chew you up and spit you out. It sucks, I know. Some humans just have no feeling or souls. It saddens me to see such young people being sucked into the maladies of the world.
No one will be able to be the same man that Jesus Christ was unless God is to make it so. Many try to be Jesus, but face it, you're never going to be able to match the commitment that He had and you will never make the same sacrifice that He made for the world.
No matter what, we're always going to be abused. That's just the way the world is now. I wish that it wasn't that way, but I can't change it unfortunately.
