how could one body house such polarity
and still ever be graced with liberating enjoyment
internal rest
healthy affection
for anything?
I wonder about my purpose
why is it sometimes so hidden
why have these beginnings?
why create this mouth, that hand, those feet
why plant the tree at all
Sovereignty knew rebellion
God made the unnecessary
Sovereignty knew the agony
blood and flesh ripping
unceasing rejection
God chose the unlovely
why elect the unfaithful the disloyal
you say that I'm worth it to you
you said the agony was your joy
when you rearranged dirt to make us
that was your joy?
I question without end.
and then you question me
and I remember
I was not there when you laid the foundation of the earth
I have not entered the storehouses of the snow
and I cannot condemn you so that I may be in the right.
Job 38-40
so good. Job reminds us that sovereign election is a rebuke to unbelief & bewilderment.
