1 John 4:16b
©️2021 Gloria M. Chang
“In the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone.”
St. John of the Cross
God is love,
and whoever remains in love
remains in God and God in him.
Traditional Chinese Translation
神就是愛；
那住在愛裡面的，就住在神裡面，
神也住在他裡面。
Like a hand shaped vessel of clay,
Kiln baked by intense heat,
Will I receive the Creator’s design?
Or resist with hardened heart?
Holy Spirit, infuse my brokenness,
Pour out your mending grace,
Only you can truly refine,
In your love furnace day by day.
Beautiful, Ellen! Thank you for sharing your poem!
