Is the Love of Jesus Enough

Confidence parades around in this sanctuary The Reverend blesses them Maybe me too He tries anyway But can I accept it? Do I believe it? My faith is gone. Am I the only sinner here? I look around for other sinners. Not any obvious contenders. Families touching each other in a lovely way Opening hymnals, singing with faith. I put my mask on. I do not belong. The sermon is about Jesus accepting everyone. I think he means Christians Not sinners like me. There is an invitation. Everyone is welcome. I would have to share my true self. I would have to let them know what a sinner I am. They keep inviting and inviting. I jump out of my seat as if I was shot out of a revolver. Is the love of Jesus enough? And who sent me up here? I stare into the stained glass window. Jesus is opening a door. I am entranced. Terrified, but entranced. The reverend shakes my hand. He says some words I do not recognize. I have no idea how I got here. Who propelled me out of my seat? Jesus winks from the glass.
