a vision

Tonight I saw that your mercy, Father, is like a robe, that everyone you have ever created has sown into with the skill of a royal seamstress. It drapes from your shoulders like an ocean of velvet and gold and flows so you cannot see it’s beginning or end and if you handed it to anyone it would most certainly crush them by it's weight.

Tonight I remembered that your thoughts are higher than my thoughts and my ways are not your ways. I asked you to show me. I saw you weeping but I saw that your sorrow does not release sorrow upon the earth, but rather peace. I saw that your pain does not release pain upon the earth, rather mercy. I saw that your joy releases freedom on the earth, and that your justice releases your glory on the earth.

Mercy and goodness flow from you, it is all I have ever known.

Mercy and goodness flow from you, it is all I have ever known.

And your mercy will flow over the earth and fill the borders between nations where we have claimed our own kingdoms, like fresh porcelain poured over a cracked plate, and all nations will flow to your mountain, a restoration of your creation, and we will not be able to resist going to you.
