Don't Look Down On Them

Do not despise the weak, the poor,
Don’t look down upon them.
We all have dark paths we have walked.
Through trials harsh and grim.
 
We all have called upon His grace
From within our travail.
He always answered us with love,
A love that does not fail.
 
When you can help, then lend a hand,
But don’t disdain, despise.
Remember that He was disdained,
Looked down on by man’s eyes.
 
Yet, He chose to take on our sin,
Shield us from God’s disdain,
That we might never fully know
The depth of our sin’s pain.
 
We’re called to help the poor, the weak,
To not look down on them.
For how we deal with others here
Should be based upon Him.
 
Isaiah 53:3
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.
