In the midst
of life's calamities
let me refrain from silence.
Help me shout
grace
whilst ungracious
forgiveness
whilst unforgiving
acceptance
whilst a bigot
faith
whilst faithless
hope
whilst hopeless
let love be shouted from the core of my being
even though I am loveless
love endures me.
love surrounds me.
love transforms me
in ways I know not
love takes my broken humanity
and joins me to divinity
in ways that are greater
than I could ever understand.
love triumphs over all.

Thank you God, for loving us mostly in spite of us. And thank you billy for reminding us of His great love.

golly gracious!!! how?... where did this come from? it's astounding ... it's ... it's psalm like .. it's darn g o o d. This EXACTLY speaks eloquently what I've stumbling-ly been voicing to God ... just when I think I'm not judgemental - I am; just when I feel so full of acceptance and love of others - I'm not, etc; that is why God is so incredibly amazing - He knows, He understands, He takes it all on Himself and loves me/us to absolute bits ... and courage comes through His embrace to keep stumbling and moving fwd towards being less judgemental, less unforgiving, less bigotted, more accepting, more loving (and so on and so forth - forgive my rambling)
