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!
