Reflect with me on the Hope that the Christ's birth brings after our failure to value his gifts...Hope in our lost-ness. Have we truly, truly understood, deep in the center of our souls, how much we have lost...and how eager He is to restore?
************************
Reflect...as you share this poem with me:
Only Grace
We lost your Way's simplicity,
mazed in detours and dead-ends.
Now only Grace can show us
how and where to walk again.
We lost Truth's bold identity;
threw falsehood in its face.
Only with Grace from Heaven
can Truth reclaim its rightful place.
We lost Life's sacred purity;
we failed ourselves...and You.
Father, your Grace alone
can take us back to start anew.
All along You knew we couldn't
hold onto these things!
You knew that fragile Man
can only thrive beneath your Wings.
So, your Grace wrapped up the perfect gift -
no price too dear to pay -
And now..."the Way, the Truth, the Life"*
lies, Incarnate, in the hay.
--Becky Rhon
