HOW IS GOD LOVING ME – AND WHERE IS GOD LEADING ME?
A PICTURE AND A POEM: SHADOW
FOR THIS DAY
(GOOD FRIDAY)
Light increasing
Days lengthening
Darkness waning
Shadow remaining.
Cardinals singing
Buds revealing
Nestlings peeping
Silence keeping.
Hope warming
Peace softening
Love surrounding
Grief abounding.
Tomb opening
Life emerging
Joy unfolding
Cross beholding…

Surely there had been some error;
how could God abide this loss?
How can we all face the terror
of the shadow of the Cross?
How can we forget the water
flowing from His spear-torn side?
How can we get past His slaughter
with no place to go to hide?
Now they’ve placed Him in a tomb,
wrapped in linen touched with spice,
in the dark decay of gloom,
and there’s no way we can splice
all the hope of days gone past
to tomorrow’s brave hold-fast.
