Jesus,
I realise
I look like you
when I am despised
because you were despised.*
I am blessed
when we are one.
Amen.
PTH
* Isaiah 53:3 New International Version (NIV)
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
