Peacemakers

Everyone hates

Hates a peacemaker

Who asks us

Calmly

To give up

Give up what is rightfully ours

For a greater cause



Each other



That’s why they are blessed

Called the children of God

This and that

This is not the life
that gives life;
That is given
so we might live
both.

I came that they might have life and have it abundantly.

Grace and peace to you…

The end of days

I think, at the end of days,
I will see how things were for you,
and you for me.

Then anything not yet forgiven
will be forgiven.
We will love and be loved,
the way we always wanted.

That, I think, is our future.

Let’s go there together.


Grace and peace to us all…

Like glory or something

Glory is a thing
or some thing
that shines
or makes things shine
just because
of what it is
or what it finds in them

Kind of like Love
maybe
if the love is of the right kind
like the kind that doesn’t separate

Like the kind that says,
Don’t be afraid
You’re good

There you go
Shining
as though you were my Beloved
or something
Like the Light of the world
or something


Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is the Messiah, the Lord.

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Grace and peace to you…

The Thing About Trust

The thing about trust

If I don’t have yours
I can’t earn it

No single deed
Or lifetime of deeds
Will do

Not even Jesus Christ
Can earn my trust
Or yours
Unless he already has it
