The Lord’s Yardstick

By Robert Raymond

A Man can be measured in inches
A Man can be measured by the quality of his clothes
A Man can be measured by his wealth and belongings
The Lord measures a Man by what you cannot see
The Lord measures a Man by his character
The Lord measures a Man by the depth and sincerity of his love for others
The Lord measures a Man by the depth and sincerity by which he is loved by others
The Lord measures a Man by his gentle way with children
The Lord measures a Man by his ability to share wisdom to those in need
The Lord measures a Man by his desire to help those who expect it the least
The Lord measures a Man by the strength and dignity by which he bears his burdens
The Lord measures a Man by how much the Lord sees himself in the Man
It is through the expectations of the Lord’s Yardstick
That we are able to fly
