“I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:1-3

we try to weave

lives from hubris and

grudges, edged with frustration

and bound together with

the threads of anger and hurt,

so

you unravel us, and

putting us on the loom,

our hopes, dreams, fears,

and doubts the warp threads,

while the weft thread of your

grace

shapes us into your

beloved
