“See”
Jan 14, 2025
I asked the Beloved
to help me “see” the love of Jesus —
the next day
before me stood a transgender man
tired, make-up from the night before
still smudged on his face,
sadness pouring hurt from his eyes,
I looked and he was transformed
into a beloved of God
a suffering soul ready to dive
into the abyss of self-willed death —
the rejected was greatly loved
a pearl pulled from the deepest ocean
prepared to “see” God —
deeply loved.
