A Position of the Heart
He seduced the Cross
into making love.
He coaxed it,
pressed it to himself,
Until it was difficult to see
which had initiated
the embrace,
which was making
the offering.
And
which one had
actually
given in.

Heart provoking! The power and transformation of accepting and embracing that which seems to break us is found deep in the heart of Jesus’ love:
Profound and calling for complete surrender into the Heart of Jesus….Trusting that all will be well !!
Thanks, JoAnn for sharing the richness of your poetic gifts.
