Undeserving Hope*

Grateful and horrified
I kneel naked before You
Aware and afraid
Full of faith and doubt
Lost and Saved
Face down in the muck of my soul
I still feel Your Presence
So
I look up
and see
Your tattered sandals and dirty feet –
Hope shatters my undeserving heart.

*With gratitude for the writings of Brother Lawrence and Joni Eareckson Tada
