beautiful world
blessed life
there are
imperfections
of course
these are
especially
discouraging days
JOY+WONDER+LOVE
are obscured
yet
we are
equipped
for these times
by JESUS
with the SPIRIT
we gripe
we whine
we fear
but
we have the
ANTIDOTE
we have a
SHIELD
bound up
in the POWER
of CHRIST’S
RESURRECTION
it requires
BELIEF
then
TRUST
these
confounding
imperfections
will not rule
JESUS
lift my
withered spirit for
JOY+WONDER+LOVE
amen
