A Scriptural Poem<P><BR> Man, in his weakness and shortsightedness makes choices in this life.<BR> He sometimes trembles at the risks he takes, the choices he makes in fear. <BR> But... in the end... as we anguish in the fruit of our choices, <BR> There comes a time when our eyes are opened,<BR> and we come to realize that God’s mercy is infinite.<P> We need only await it with confidence...and receive it with gratitude. <BR> Mercy imposes no conditions.<P><BR> And lo<P><BR> Everything we have chosen has been granted to us.<BR> And everything... we rejected... has also been granted.<BR> Yes, sometimes... even that which we rejected... <BR> we receive back again... unto ourselves.<P><BR> For... Mercy and Truth are met together, <BR> and Righteousness and Peace shall kiss one another. (Psalm 85:10)
