I want to share a poem with you I received in an email today. It was written by someone at the International House of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City.

ONE CLEAR THOUGHT

His God is good
whose hands held high
proclaim His righteousness,
who bears in grief –
by God-giv’n grace alone –
a burden that he can’t understand
but bears because of love.
All understanding now passed away
insane peace remains
deeper than understanding.
The mind of Christ
thinks one clear thought of love
that pierces outward
through mangled flesh
and sends forth light
in the face of all darkness.
And the Light shone in the darkness
and the darkness did not overcome.
