Advent Impressions: "Healing by Grace"

 Unforgiveness blows through our land,

Hatred tags along side.

Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound...

Cruelty raises its ugly head

Unkindness in exchange for mercy.

Blind, but Now I See...

Open our eyes and hearts

With dialogue, compassion, and reconciliation.

And Grace, my fears relieved...

Teach us Your ways of justice

To walk humbly in Your love.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares...

Create, immerse, and saturate us

With healing and love.

And Grace will lead us home...


Proverbs 17:22 (paraphrased)

A cheerful outlook that originates from the heart is good for our health. Constant rhetoric about doom and gloom invite bitterness and leave our bones disease-ridden.  Proverbs 17:22
