Love reaches out
What
was
God doing
as he studied the victims
of the latest Extreme
Weather Event?
What
was
God doing
for the carefree child
running into the road
just as the car accelerated?
What
was
God doing
while the fittest worked out
their next brutal plan
of survival?
These
questions will not be answered today
or any other day.
when love reaches out.
A
hand
stretches down
from the rescue craft.
Tears sting
behind the eyes.
Something
breaks
when love reaches out—
it might be a heart,
or a burst dam of pride.
Love
overthrows
the government of fear.
If your hands are full
what can you reach for?
Your
trophies and pride
will be scattered about
when you reach out for love
or when love reaches out.
