Essence: Letter to Anam-charaid
Dear Anam-charaid,
The essence of Crìost
was, is and is to come,
the Word who was with God,
who is what God is.
The mystery of Crìost
is unfathomable.
Yet prior to any act of your existence,
before any stimuli aroused your intellect
or tingled your sensibilities,
the magnitude of His Being
was, is and is to come
approachable.
His presence known,
His Word creates;
His love restores;
His power resurrects;
His Spirit transforms.
O that you might spend your days
chewing on this!
