The Trade-off: Lent Day 17

 

If I sell my brother to another for twenty pieces of silver,

what good can come of it?

For it’s not my brother I am selling, but my soul,

he is but currency, and now I am chattel.

 

And my soul remains priceless.

 

Book of Genesis

“They sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver.”

Feeling Grace: Lent Day 16

Grace is given but not always felt.

I feel this separation today,

keeping me apart from you,

knowing You are close but unable to sense You?

 

If You can but touch my heart once, I Am fulfilled.

 

Gospel of Luke

“ ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded
if someone should rise from the dead.’ ”
