Who Are We To Play God?

Folder: 
A New Era

 

You know when we see on the news that a pedophile is locked up for molesting a child... 

We wish them pain.... Or even worse....Death.


We see or hear about someone murdering a person...

Or being a known serial killer... 

Or a mass shooter... 

When they get caught and get locked up... 

What do we do? 

We wish them pain.... Or death. 


The very thing we wanna condemn them for doing, 

we wish on them.... 


But who are we to play God?  

To decide their life should end? 


Who are we to play God? 

Who are we to take that chance for

That pedophile or that murderer...

Or whoever they are...

who are we to take that chance 

For them to be able to change who they are? 

To take that chance away from them finding God? 

Don't say,  they won't ever change... 

Cuz everyone can change. 

Long as they got breathe in their body, 

they have a chance to find God and

Change their vile ways. 


We all make mistakes. 

We all do things that are wrong. 

Granted some don't change, 

But some that don't mean we should rip that chance away.... 


Besides we're not God. 

We're only human.... 

So who are we to play God?
