Apologies for the delayed posting on this one! Today we have a guest post from Andrea, who operates her own blog as well as co-authors one with her brother. Both will be linked down below! I am super-excited for this, as Andrea will be contributing a post every first Saturday of the month either in the form of a poetic work or some other form of devotional/thought-provoking post pertaining to Christianity. Enjoy this great poem and be sure to check out her blogs and her book!
There is Light
And there is Darkness
And we are glass.
Purified
So Day can shine through us
Illuminating hearts,
Changing lives.
Or clouded
So only Night can glare
Shriveling flowers,
Darkening worlds.
We may be warped by our choices
Whether Light
Whether Darkness
Until we can no longer change sides.
Set for good
Of locked on evil
Until
We
Break
And the pieces still reflect an every growing gloom.
But there is mercy
For the Glassmaker knows
When what passes through us is not ours,
And hating the darkness,
He still does not hate our form,
Our crystalline hearts.
He still wishes
To save us
From ourselves.
There is Light
And there is Darkness
And we are glass.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12 (KJV)
