The resume

After Psalm 103 

Credentials, qualities,

accomplishments, strengths:

all the usual categories

for a resume. But then

it’s submitted for review

and your consideration:

 

Forgiveness.

Heals diseases.

Redeems your life.

Crowns you with love

   and mercy.

Satisfies.

Renews your strength.

Provides justice.

Transparency (another way 

   of saying: makes known

   his ways.

Merciful.

Gracious.

Slow to anger.

Abounds in love.

Shows grace to the undeserving.

Compassionate.

 

Definitely not the usual,

or the expected.
