you, a coward

 “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32

You, a coward.

I do not know who you are. The world does not know.

It doesn’t matter.

You may have some reason in your mind, some justification

for what you did. 

It doesn’t matter.

You, a coward. You, a murderer.

How dare you?

Kill an innocent man, a man who speaks truth,

a good man, and you think it makes you a hero.

You fool.

You coward. 

You murdered a man with children, a man with a wife,

a man who asks questions

and tells the truth.

You do not understand, perhaps,

that you

will never

win.

Yesterday, a man named Charlie Kirk was murdered. Why? Because he was speaking truth and goodness to people who didn’t want to hear it. He stood firm on the Word of God and someone thought it was okay to kill him because of it.

“And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” John 3:19-21
