Shame. The shame I’ve clothed myself in, in order to feel it, so I can rid myself of it

Grief. The grief I’ve gulped down like ice cold water so I can process it instead of allowing it to warm then fester

Pride. How I flee from it…evil itself began with pride… and when you actively follow the one who is Good, you see how terrifyingly corrupt such a thing is

Loneliness. A curse? or a calling? Did Jerimiah weep? Did Elijah ask for death? Did David flee? Did Christ grieve his burden with a lament? Yes and lonely was the feeling they felt

Success. What crude definition do you have for it, you worldly one? Do not cast that shadow upon me, I assure you, my lack is not what it seems, for where you see failure, you haven’t the eyes to see what I’ve gained

Freedom is won by becoming lowly

Truth is found by becoming insignificant

Love, How could you know Love if you do not know HE who sent Him?

All praise to Jehovah God, He who sent Him, our Lord Christ Jesus, out of undeserved LOVE for us.
