‘Congratulations! No defects found.’

Beverly Peake

The antivirus scan complete, there’s a notice on my screenCongratulating me that my computer is now clean.But at this very moment, while feeling kind of blue,I’m cheered to realize that I am free of errors too.

There is no mental spyware to harass me with self-blame,To corrupt my spotless selfhood and malign my blessed name.Love disallows that taunting and sweeps it all away,Just as it did for troubled ones redeemed in Jesus’ day.
