Three Things in One
The One Thing I Couldn’t Live Without
Is Three things in One
A person,
An object,
And an Idea
A Person:
In flesh and in Spirit -
Meek and mild as a lamb.
An Object:
Crinkly paper,
Leather smell.
I hold and read
His Word,
Breathe it in…
Words.
An Idea I hold close to my heart:
The lamb led to the slaughter.
Blessings that should be his –
He puts on me.
I put on Him.
I cannot take Him off.
Without him, there
Is
No
Life.
Everywhere,
He is there.
He is my person:
Jesus, all encompassing,
All engrossing,
My existence.
He is my object:
In the Bible,
He is the Bible.
He is the living Word
He is my cherished idea:
Beloved death
Cursed – persecuted
Berated
CRUCIFIED.
“Without the shedding
Of blood - - - - - - - - - -
There is no Forgiveness
Of sins”.
Could I leave Him behind?
Not a chance.
I’d die.
