Koreana Wilson: Invited to Participate

This poem was written by Koreana in our evangelism service a couple of weeks ago when listening to Corina and Tony share. It's nice to be getting a bit of poetry. The art is something she drew in her journal based on Jeremiah 17:7-8 and psalm 1:2-3.
 
Invited to Participate
 
We are invited to participate 
and share in the reality that is in Christ Jesus,
God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.
The Triune God who entered into our reality,
to make himself known to us through the person of Jesus.
His compassionate heart.
His hands that healed.
His words that give life.
His blood sacrificed.
His death which defeated.
His hands and feet pierced, piercing our darkness. 
His heart grieved, for our sorrows.
His body broken for our brokenness. 
His life given for ours.
His love poured out for us.
He entered into our darkness.
Entered into our suffering. 
Beaten, battered, bruised and shamed.
He hung for us, days on end, exposed and vulnerable.
He bore our deepest pains, our sins and shame.
He covered us in His blood. 
Now included in his very being,
No longer separated from the one who is Love.
We are Loved and covered in His Love.
