Notes from Dr. Carson’s Exposition of I John 5

                                         He takes us into

                                         Him-[selfless]-self

                                         for saving from

                                         what dazed and distracts us

                                         as each preoccupied

                                         and swarming lonelily

                                         is out for his own for one

                                         already fading day.

         Why?

         Is it the way to

                                                   pure

                                             delight?

(The very opposite

of what we thought?

                                                   or not,

we think, fitting for us

as we, ourselves, not His self

would trust)?
