1Kings 21:17-29; Psalm 51: 3-6,11,16; Matthew 5:43-48

asking
for mercy
we are given
reprieve
as the love of God
opens
to us
seeing all
as held in this Love
seeking our care
even to our enemy
who shows us
our own heart
we pause
from our greed
to see a new way
to live
giving thanks
for all
that is before us

Do you pause to give thanks to God?
Do you seek mercy?
