What God Erases

We make mistakes, but sin requires deliberate trespass against a law set by an authority and held by community.  God asks us to repent.  Do not intensify what God simply erases. ~ Jo Helen Cox

What God erases. Like a father
taking away a toy causing friction
but just for a while, and not in anger,
but to stop the friction. Just that.
God doesn’t rant and rave when we blow it
but examines the situation, chooses
to comfort, to challenge, to just smile,
but doesn’t have to choose to keep loving us.
Because that’s a given. Not only when he chooses
to erase our mistakes, but certainly then.
