I am Scribe
Filling myself with Bible trivia
I am Pharisee
So often
With more pride in my faith
Than others’ religion
I am faithless servant
Sure of my own independence
I am foolish woman
Forgetting the balm of forgiveness
I am Israel in the desert
I am Pharoah
I am my own worst enemy
But Good News!
Gospel Truth:
Never
Never never
Never never never
Am I lost
Never forsaken
Never destined for weeping and gnashing of teeth
In the dark outside of grace
Because Jesus
Because love
Because God’s perfection
Is so much greater than my imperfections
And not just me
You too
For
“God is faithful,
and by him you were called”
(1 Cor 1:9)
