abide

“Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you.” 1 John 2:24a

when we think
we can live in
your heart’s basement
playing video games
all day long, you hand
us a list of chores:
offer hope to the broken,
stick pain in the bin by the curb,
pour grace for the lonely,
run toward hate when
it rears its ugly head
