We look down

"And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd." (Matthew 9:35-36 NKJV)

We look down
in dismay
in disgust
in anger

at the sick
of mind
and body
and soul

We fail to show
compassion --
love and care
to all

Only a select few
do we find
approachable

Because,
we
are not
Jesus.
