No Time -----

I really like this poem, "No Time to Treat Men Wrong" by Rev. Walter Isenhour.  Jesus, our Masrer Teacher and perfect example, told us in the Sermon on the Mount:  "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven; for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.  Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

     "There is a time to work and play, a time to eat and sleep;
A time to study and to pray, a time to laugh and weep;
      A time for fellowship that's sweet, a time for sacred song;
But never is there time to treat a human being wrong.

      There is a time to lift men up and help them on life's road;
A time to drain their bitter cup and share their heavy load;
      A time to bless them with our grace and boost them all along;
But never is there time and place to treat our fellows wrong.

      There is a time to help men seek the God who saves the soul;
A time to show them that the meek shall reach life's highest goal;
      A time to help them turn aside and leave the wicked throng;
But never does our God provide a time to treat men wrong."

      Heavenly Father, may this be our humble prayer:

               "I have one deep, supreme desire; that I may be like Jesus!"
