Because when your Kingdom came, it landed like a meteorite, a bright light bursting our shadows. Shell-schocked we scrambled but there&#8217;s no place to hide. What did we ask for? Not: loving our enemies or confessing our sins, not showing grace or [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=persuasions.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4211003&amp;post=126&amp;subd=persuasions&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
