Immaculate Impressions

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, 

as though God were making an appeal through us; 

we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 

21 He made Him who knew no sin to be [j]sin in our behalf, 

so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

2 Cor.5:20-21

The Anchor of hope’s diligence nods and the heavens laugh

With mercy’s renewed evidence in daybreak’s autograph

We, as ambassadors for He, whose pardon reconciles

If clothed in Christ's humility, will recognize God’s smiles

Morning’s podium broods with beckoning to human race

Come, taste and see the goodness and compassion of His grace

We as ambassadors for He whose kindness perseveres

If tuned to Christ's tenacity, will recognize God’s tears

Trouble’s relentless ways and means resumes its Dreaded Must

Temptation’s primal hunger keens needles threaded with dust/trust

We, as ambassadors for He in whose Word we rejoice

If yielded to Christ's Sovereignty, will recognize God’s voice

The Giver of love’s grin and groan reignites heaven’s wick

Where stumbling block and stepping stone cuts courage to the quick

We, as ambassadors for He who is First in Command

If armed with Christ's security, will recognize God’s Hand

A good gardening day seems to be unfolding!

An opportunity to do the late-season planting.

Thank-you, Lord!
