Look

God cannot look at me today.

I have sinned, so I must offer a sacrifice to absolve myself.

Then he will be able to look at me again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God cannot look at me today.

I have touched an unclean animal, so I must stay outside my town until enough time has passed.

This is how it has been since the time of Moses. This is how it will be until the Messiah comes.

======================

God cannot look at me today.

I have taken on the sins of my people, and I must die before he will be able to look at me again.

The weight of it all is so great that the whips, though painful, seem gentle in comparison to the pain inside my heart.

-----------------------------

God can look at me today.

For the first time in a long time, God can look at me.

I’m so happy.

I do not care if God can look at me today.

If anything, God should be begging me to look at him.

He should not have asked so much.
