Like Every Selfie
Like Every Selfie
Be kind about the names
Your friends give to their children
Praise their haircuts
Love their tattoos
It doesn’t really matter
If that’s what you would do
Like every selfie
All of them
Clap their songs
Cheer them on
You were born with a limitless
Supply of encouragements
Use every one of them
Don’t wait for the eulogies
To speak out loud
That your friends are precious
And they make you feel proud

“We tend to think the 'WTF?!' reactions to Pentecost are to do with the crazy manifestations. The Old Testament and the ministry of Jesus are full of supernatural encounters. That is the very reason they were in the room waiting in the first place. What prompts the 'WTF?!' in the room is far more to do with the undeserving and unqualified people who are receiving it.” (David Gate)
