Unlock the Door of My Heart

Unlock the Door of My Heart
   

Jesus said,     "Your sins are forgiven;         rise and walk." Forgiveness is an unlocked door     to walk through         into a wide-whoopee-open world. Forgiveness is a seed     to water with new dreams and wild risks         until it bears unexpected fruit. Forgiveness is an enemy-friend     to be born out of,         a quietness beneath the clamor. Forgiveness is a flower to smell,     a wind at my back,         a gull to scream with,     a pain to laugh beneath,         a burden that carries me. It is becoming We         becoming Yours. Forgiveness is a song to sing.     O Lord, unlock the door of my heart.     Loder, Ted Guerrillas of Grace (San Diego, CA: LuraMedia, 1984) p.55
