A Poem For Our Ears & Hearts In Lament

 

At the conclusion of Sunday’s sermon, Pastor Jeth shared a short poem written by Paul David Tripp to encourage us in seasons of lament.

ever-giving,

powerful,

loving,

patient,

comforting,

confronting,

correcting,

tender,

kind,

gentle,

never impatient,

never disgusted,

never irritated,

never condemning,

always forgiving,

always reconciling,

always restoring,

saving

grace.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people.
