A Nicodemus Moment

'Christ Instructing Niccodemus' by Crijn Hendricksz, 1604
(From Anna Murdock, a friend of Pastor Charles)

A Nicodemus Moment (John 3:14-21)
She sat in a darkened sanctuary
expecting little
yet hoping for much.
She sat in a darkened sanctuary
alone …
and then Light walked in,
uninvited and unannounced,
whispering, “For God so loves you….”

Her heart beat faster
as she heard that
God had loved her in her ‘befores’ …
… before she asked for this Love,
… before she admitted to
needing this Love,
… before she sought to
understand such a Love,
… before she realized that she
wanted this Gift of Love.
