She stayed (the woman caught in adultery)

Inspired by 2 strangers.  Abby and Darryl, thank you.

She stayed.
In her guilt.
In their blame.

She stayed.
In the dirt.
​In her shame.

She stayed.
When they left.
Abandoned by those who threw curses.

She stayed
At her most vulnerable.
At her worst.

She stayed.

She stayed.
Because of the warmth 
Of His gaze.

She stayed.
Because of the depth
Of His grace.

She stayed.
Because she was seen 
In His eyes.

She stayed 
In the presence of His love.


She stayed .
