The current of life draws one to the threshold of death…

and there the razor of His mercy cuts into the core of who we are…

and then even deeper…

shaving away the bulk of the camel that seeks to pass through the eye of the needle.

Blessed the soul that steps from the threshold into the bowels of death in this life…

for one must die with Christ in order to be risen with Him.

“Give thanks to the Lord, for his is good, for his mercy endures forever. Let the house of Israel say, “His mercy endures forever.” Let those who fear the Lord say, “His mercy endures forever.”  Ps 118:1-2
