Claiming the Limits of God’s Love – v3

How unjust, unkind,
what arrogance, truly,
claiming to know, to discern,
to define, to presume,
to speak aloud, to throw a stone;
Claiming the limits of God’s love
that love is conditional
what was given on the cross

Love enough, unmerited,
to heal the whole world
to redeem all of us
though we are broken;
Loving us, without buts,
without exception,
loving all of us,
every one of us.
