Emphasis Preaching Journal

An unknown author wrote these words about judgment:

Pray do not find fault with the man that limps -
Or stumbles along the road,
Unless you have worn the shoes he wears -
Or struggled beneath his load.

There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt,
Though hidden from view,
Or the burdens he bears placed on your back -
Might cause you to stumble, too.

You may be strong, but still the blows
That were his, if dealt to you
In the selfsame way at the self-same time -
Might cause you to stagger, too.
