by Mark Weinrich

When the lepers,
the blind, and lame
came to Jesus
they wanted to be whole.
They held nothing back.

When the Father
chose to ransom the world,
He held nothing back.
He sent His only Son.

Somehow, we pick
and choose today,
like we’re soul-shopping,
assessing what we can
live with, what we can
live without. Jesus came
to make us whole.
Hold Nothing Back.
