castaway
found by the light
rescued
We are all castaways. Not worthy of the grace we receive. Created pure but full of impurities. Each has tendencies that draw us to the other side, whatever side that side might be. No one is clean, free of ambiguity. If we think we are, our confidence clouds the water we wade in.
Sunlight.
Sunlight reveals the unseen contaminations that float all around us, drawing our attention to what we take in, breathe in, and live within. Shining from above, upon the cold and empty, the Son warms and covers with promise and hope.
Finding the castaway, sitting alone, always welcomed to come home.

Until our next run, keep pondering. Write haiku and look out into your world. Be present. I’ll be back next week with another post for Ponder This.
1 John 1:7 (ESV)
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
Be safe, be kind, share grace, and pray; the world needs our prayers.

I cannot believe that 30 days passed so quickly! I know that it must be difficult to have a new Hailu each morning but I want you also to know that it is deeply appreciated.I have learned so much. Thank you. If you need encouragement to perhaps have another 30 days in the future, please consider this as a vote "yes"
