This is an a small portion Of a letter I had written to a friend a few years back. I was reading through Some of my older writings and It just fell into my lap. Anyways, I figured I'd share it. Enjoy.
"Cynics Desicrate Beauty".
What a true and harsh realization for all of us.
How long will we Continue to judge with The eyes of cynics instead Of bestowing grace with eyes of compassion? I can only imagine the countenance of peace and compassion that Jesus wore on his face amidst the pain and rejection from his bride. I can only imagine what thomas felt looking into those eyes, so Piercing... it could have been nothing short of love and acceptance.
I doubt christ would have ever called thomas a doubter, labeled him as such, and then set him before the church to be judged and branded. This is the lovely doing of a cynical bride. A bride who has lost a sense for what true beauty is, love amidst imperfection, despite our flaws or our doubts…
All this to say.
I too have my doubts,I have my flaws,
But of much greater importance, I have love and I have Hope.
