Our Shadows Serving

At the altar, see
our shadows serving
under the hand
of our Majesty’s Spirit.

In this succinct space,
how does God lean
into us, light up

our souls - with healing,
comfort, ameliorating whys.
His Spirit overshadows us.

Undeserving mankind,
less than an iota of sand,
means much more

than we can fathom
to the weightiness
of the savior’s cause.

God’s face had turned
from sin - to bridge the gap,
a worthy sacrifice;

completing the action,
resurrection after death.
That same Holy Spirit

in operation,
at the altar -
we should be duly in awe,

thankful beyond measure,
drawing closer
to His safe, loving, grace-full arms.

stunning and captivating words, Kim. I do enjoy God's comfort and healing. Some days I crave it. I always feel safer when I'm grateful for Him, awestruck. Well said and powerful, hugs, Sara

You're right about one thing, we should be in awe of our Creator, the one who made the ransom provision available by means of his son. Reverent write Kim
