God Said Go

Anonymous (presented at the meeting of the fellowship oin February,2025)

God said go
and I said who me
and God said yes you
and I said
but I’m not ready yet
and an important meeting is coming up
and I can’t leave my work right now
and you know there is no one to take my place
and God said you’re stalling

again God said go
and I said but I don’t want to
and God said I didn’t ask if you wanted to and I said
listen I’m not the kind of person to get involved in controversy
besides my family won’t like it
and what will the neighbours think and God said baloney

and yet a third time God said go
and I said do I have to?
and God said do you love Me?
and I said
look I’m scared
people are going to hate me
and cut me up in little pieces
I can’t take it all by myself
and God said where do you think I’ll be?
And God said go
and I sighed here I am, send me.

Amen.
