Arrival

Arrival

The warmth of a new sun.

The light of a new fire.

The tide coming in afresh, washing away every vestige of a marred past.

A retreating tide exposing purity, possibility and grace.

The beautiful unblemished unknown in place of the irreparable and already-spent.

The marvel of belief
in place of self-assurance and conjecture.

Fantastic joy in actual and attainable second-chances,

in the sought-after finality of full relinquishment

(following years of fits and starts);

of walking into the ever-present arms of absolute, true, Father and Family.

Of never turning back again—

only going forward,

in peace,

joy,

and the sealed protection and empowerment,

forgiveness and redemption,

strength and humility,

wisdom

and love

of Jesus.”
