Knew his family
Listened intrigued
Often didn’t get it

Foreigners of time, culture, location
Admit to ourselves (at least) that
We don’t have it all figured out

Heaven
Eternal Life
Right(eous) living

It’s challenging work
with this negativity bias
Help me

To truly
Embody love
For what is in
And around me

Help me to love
This, my portion of
The Kin_dom of God
