Wisdom 2: 1-22; Psalm 34: 17-23; John 7: 1-2, 10, 25-30

your presence
stands
in the truth
of who you are
born from goodness
you challenge
and censure
our thoughts
as harm
is planned
against you
testing
by our own standards
we are blind
yet crushed
in spirit and
brokenhearted
we see you
in a new way
of mercy
and kindness
and grace
that lives
beyond our means
and lifts us up
we follow

Does he challenge your thoughts?
