Draw him in

     He drew a circle that shut me out-
     Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
     But Love, and I had the wit to win:
     We drew a circle that took him in!
                             Edwin Markham


Caleb and I have been working on poetry this week.  I thought I would post about Rudyard Kipling's "If", but I figured everyone memorized that at one point.  I think we will work on memorizing it next week.  So, instead I found this great one by Edwin Markham.
How well do we use our wit emboldened by Love (notice the capital in the poem) to draw people in?  Christ calls us to do just that!  Together with Love (Christ), we do win and are able to share with people the incomprehensible joy that we have in Christ.
We are called to love one another, even if we are shut out--pray for those that have called us names (Matthew 5:11-14) and find a way to draw our circle around them.
