Grace
is a gift
that causes a shift
of what the world requires
and what God desires.
The world uses sex for the sake of its kingdom.
Grace works in love for the sake of its kingdom.
The world exercises its power for the sake of its kingdom.
Grace humbly submits for the sake of its kingdom.
The world seeks peace for the sake of its kingdom.
Grace has the peace the world wants for the sake of its kingdom.
The world requires the books to be balanced and kept for the sake of its kingdom.
Grace takes pity and cancels the debt for the sake of its kingdom.
The world separates the haves and have-nots for the sake of its kingdom.
Grace invites all to celebrate for the sake of its kingdom.
The world writes off the one that is lost for the sake of its kingdom.
Grace goes after the one that is lost for the sake of its kingdom.
The world constructs the wide road for the sake of its kingdom.
and looks with contempt at Grace’s narrow path.
Amen.
