Such love

Matthew 21:14-15

The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he cured them. But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the amazing things that he did, and heard the children crying out in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they became angry

There will always be those

who are suspicious

of the motives of others

or threatened

by their popularity

Those who cannot see good

for what it is

Pure

Uncomplicated

Love in action

And for those 

who practice justice

and love mercy

and walk humbly 

the naysayers

bring danger

and do their best

to suck the good out of

all that promises 

wholeness and healing.

But love had - and has the last word

Even as he was being crucified

the King of love cried

"Father, forgive them"

And such love

could not be extinguished

but triumphed

over the angry ones.

Such love.
