19 April 2019

Love began on Good Friday.
It is a cross with arms open wide.
It is an invitation, an offer of pain and sacrifice.
It is not what you can do for me
but  what I can do for you,
mercy in abundance,
forgiveness, let me empower you.

Beautiful. Cryptic, but with a wealth of meaning. Well said.
