Christ's Disciples and Dignity




Jesus' "Cast not your
pearls before swine"
is a command His
disciples need to mind.

Sometimes, not always, I can see
we walk a very fine line
when dealing with those
uninterested in things divine.

While we would crawl in the dirt,
or gladly mop the floor
for the Maser we dearly love,
groveling Jesus would deplore.

This is not to say we
loving our neighbor neglect.
But Christ empowers His own
to keep their self-respect.

Yes, when dealing with mankind,
we can and do hear Him say,
thus far and no farther --
dignified, you are to stay.
