Glorious Ruin

Alistair Begg came to convo at LU last Friday. Something he said has stuck in my mind. I have been unable to get the thought out of my mind. The beauty of the idea it strikes in my head. I wrote this while thinking about it:

Created in perfection

Glorious image of the Devine

Fallen disaster

Made to live eternity

Designed to perish, to need a Savior

Broken and dismantled

Devoid of the Origin

Remnant of the forgotten

Remember what you were

Glorious

Realize what you are

A ruin
