Grace
Christ incarnated in me is the hope of
incarnating Christ in the one who has hurt me.
Yet how do I admit that someone made in the image of God
can make me blind to God,
my own soul contorting?*
Stop. Think.
No--stop. See God.
Let God have my thoughts.
Let my heart soften in His presence.
Not so that the sin against me is gotten away with
but so that it might be covered over
by the grace of being in HIs presence.
Strength & beauty revealed.
Sin dies.
Demons flee
and the previously bound are confused
by their freedom.
Grace.
