James 2:13 13 For judgment is merciless for the one who has shown no mercy. But mercy triumphs over judgment. Triumph

Triumph over sin is like a door.

A little push, a little shove and

one step you are in.

Feeling satisfied with doing what is right

celebrating the overcoming

of the “what” could have been.

Triumph over self is like a pathway.

Stumbling over self-made obstacles

and very painful as you fall.

Relentless effort to just overcome

the zealous and religious self

the one disguised in action ... not lost after all
