Judge God

Judge God
 
Routinely, through my keyhole view,
(crouched behind the barricaded door),
 
I judge myself and others quite harshly,
and in doing so, judge God
 
(and find Him lacking).  
Judging God
 
from my own trepidation
rather than doing my best
 
to love Him, His Creation
and all His children just as they are;
 
rather than quelling my rebellion
and surrendering my will
 
to His incalculable superiority –
not from a motive of salvation but of sacrifice.
 
O child of God, the beginning of divine love
is faith in the ultimate benevolence of God.
