And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High;
for you will go before the Holy One to prepare God’s ways,
to give knowledge of salvation to God’s people
by the forgiveness of their sins.
—Luke 1.76-77
You go before, before the way is straightened.
The preparations are mostly unseen. Go anyway.
Bold pronouncements won’t do it;
you make God’s grace known by forgiving.
Plant seeds of grace in the dark soil of this world;
sow seeds of light in the darkness.
In time they will bear fruit, in time.
Go before; Infinite Love is at your back.
