Love's Metamorphosis

Trembling 

We seek you

And 

trembling 

we find you

And 

trembling, 

we give you away

Who knew that love in its beautiful Hunger could fulfill someone this way?

 Blindly we seek you and blindly we find you and blindly we give you away

Who knew that love in its beautiful blindness could restore true sight this way?

 Broken, 

we seek you

And broken, 

we find you

And broken, 

still, still 

you increase

Who knew 

that love

In its 

Beautiful 

breaking

Creates a 

Masterpiece?

These days there's a lot of talk about 'finding ourselves, being true to ourselves, following what WE want' but it flies in the face of what Jesus taught...He didn't say find yourself, but deny yourself ...

 Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.

 Luke 9:23
