Fourth Sunday in Lent

“For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ - if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.” Romans 8:15-17

when the Accuser
files perjury charges
against us, based on
our bitter words
our foolish choices
our long-term grudges,
our faltering faith steps,
you put Spirit
on the stand to be
our character witness
so
truth will out
