To keep our dignity

(c) By: Sharon Slaton Howell



Jesus' "Cast not your
pearls before swine"
is a command His
servants 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 Master we adore,
groveling Jesus would deplore.

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

How often when dealing with mankind,
we hear our Saviour clearly say,
thus far and no farther;
dignified you are to stay.
