“Crowned Anyway”
They passed me by, as if my name were mist or a silence they didn’t want to hear. But heaven wrote it in gold long before they looked away.
He saw me.
Not with borrowed kindness or sideways glances, but with a love that bled and washed, deep into the bruises they never asked about.
They call me nothing. But He calls me priest. Royal. Chosen. Wrapped in mercy’s robe and crowned anyway.
So let them miss what they missed. Let them speak what they will. I am already spoken for. By the faithful witness, first risen, never fading, eternally mine.
Amen.
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
