Vulnerable One

March 24, 2014 By Juanita Ryan Leave a Comment

You, God,
are the vulnerable One.
I am creature, child.
Yet my heart is rock hard in places.
While your heart—
your heart is
liquid love
and longing.
You hold nothing back.

——

How often I have longed to gather your children together,
as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings
but you would not.
Matthew 23:37
