yet being put back together
continually dying
yet being made alive
bringing the kingdom of heaven here and now
though realizing it can't be fully...yet
there is a tension
...
I want to fight it
I want it to go away
I want one or the other
and yet, there is an undeniable tension
I'm done fighting
I want it to stay
I want both/and
I must live within the tension
...
I see it all around
we run from it, swinging to one side or the other
but we find ourselves smack-dab in the middle of the tension
...and that's right where we need to be
how can it not drive us to Jesus?
how can it not drive us to humility?
...
and like a finely tuned instrument, may we make our song, living within the tension

well spoken. I always feel refreshed, and yet challenged when I read your thoughts and think about them... haha
