take this moment.

a kidnapping of minds from beyond our skies, a realm you refuse to recognise. you don’t know who you are or who you’re supposed to be. the light is out but you’re inside, shadow-dressed behind the curtains.

it’s a vast crowd of the missing and the blind take the lead. but i have inside a bright treasure and an invitation; i have a secret and a revolution. inside this fragile body, a jar of cracking clay. precious contents, an unfading light – the face of Christ.

i’ll take this moment and take your hand, lift the veil and show the truth. lift your eyes to the bright and unseen answers of eternity.

i’m full of exploding words, salty with the smell of promise. a plainly spoken truth for seated children and for adults tall with pride. i’ll hide myself, reveal Him, as conversation leaps to Always and Ever. this is the word of life you are desperate to hear, the secret you keep from yourself.

i'll write it down and affix a stamp, post grace to you in a white envelope. spell out the hope of life and the faith of mercy. and i’ll send some letters to busy strangers, glimpsed on trains and buses in a speedy now. a growing Kingdom through the postal system.

i’ll take this moment and take your hand, lift the veil and show the truth. lift your eyes to the bright and unseen answers of eternity.

glory dropped in a mailbox,
a forever destination.
