Presence: Arts That Inspire Reflection & Prayer

DAY 5 OF 7

The Sender & The Sent

The sheer injustice of mercy Felt intolerable; Unequivocal, unrelenting forgiveness Too much. He refused to go to Nineveh, Determined to play no part In such an undeserved stay of judgement.

In desperation he sailed, Hoping the vastness of the oceans Would hide him, That anonymity would dull the call. Yet even the deep resonated With the presence Of the one who would not let go. He surrendered

The free flow of grace Always comes with a cost; The message and the messenger; The sender and the sent. Beyond the boundaries of reason Love responds, 'Send me.'
