Guilt – a toxic atmosphere wrapped around you. The accuser points at you in the rotating room but you’re at the center with all eyes on you. Scathing scenes play quickly in your mind like pages hurriedly flipped. “You’re guilty! You’ve failed,” an angry choir screams. The heavy weight of guilt pulls your weak knees to the cold cement floor. Even the birds in their uniformed ascension repeat your accusation. Your tears forcefully overflow your eyes as if pent up for years behind great doors. Suddenly…
Silence interrupts the courthouse just before the gavel speaks your fate. And there HE stands – a contradiction to your circumstance.
“Come.”
Is it you HE’s reaching for? HE summons you to rise with eyes of unfounded compassion. A struggle begins in the heart which thirst for freedom but knows the rights of justice. So will you get up out of your shame and stand with HIM? Ignore the blazing anger all around the room and their scorching gaze of hate. Even you know what you deserve…
HE pulls you in and pours love in the cracks and crevices of your soul…your words could never make know these places. Lost in this embrace you find your life…the one HE’s always had for you. Right then your heart cuts a covenant that forever you’ll live indebted to the One true GOD called LOVE.
