kindness and love will change the world




From Scorn to Salvation

hands over snickering mouths
eyes shifting in sidelong glances
fingers pointing in haughty admonitions
tongues tsking in tattletale gossip
feet scurrying away in indifference
arms full of arrows and whips
heads shaking in disgust and revulsion

bodies holding hearts rejected
souls singing dirges of desperation
spirits swirling in frenzied confusion
lost lambs crying for their shepard
mercy in the blood of the Son
forgiveness stretched out in open arms
grace in the peace of the dove

the Word spoken in kindness and love

Such power in the imagery here. This explodes with the power of the Holy Spirit. God has surely given you a gift and you give it back to Him in this wonderful piece.
