A Poem

I just finished reading The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen. I heavily felt the Spirit on me....I am not usually like that. I felt like I had to write....this is what came out.

Returning

I want to be compassionate not comparative

I want to be forgiving not bitter

I want to open my arms not walk away

I want to embrace not judge

I want to be full of joy not cynical

I want to be love not fear

I want to have more of Him not less of me

    The last statement: I want more of Him, not less of me....how does one begin to think the two are in opposition??? hmmm.
