Not Listening

Can you hear me?

Or rather can you

Hear Him speaking

Through me?



My words were

Given to me by God;

Your words appear

To be of the enemy.



If I speak with

Love and all you

Do is criticize others,

Which is of God?



At some point,

I have to close

My mouth because

You’ve closed your ears.



But I will not

Shut my lips

Until God tells me

I have said enough.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by John 8:47: “Anyone on God’s side listens to God’s words. This is why you’re not listening—because you’re not on God’s side.” (Message version)
