At last, by the mercy of God, meditating day and night, I gave heed to the context of the words, namely, “In it the righteousness of God is revealed, as it is written, ‘He who through faith is righteous shall live.’” There I began to understand that the righteousness of God is that by which the righteous lives by a gift of God, namely by faith. And this is the meaning: the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel, namely, the passive righteousness with which merciful God justifies us by faith, as it is written, “He who through faith is righteous shall live.” Here I felt that I was altogether born again and had entered paradise itself through open gates.
Martin Luther

I SEE YOU WELL
by J .Randal Matheny

Above the busy street, a bird
Unnoticed, ignored, warbled unheard,
Its flight but a flash in the corner of the eye.
It sang, not for us, but for itself it trilled,
Perched on the roof, it sang on high.
"You run and buy, you rush and sell;
My love, I saw you, I see you, well."*

_______
* The bird is named "Bem-te-vi", which can be
translated, "I saw you well," or "I saw you, love." It
is a type of flycatcher, also present in the southern
U.S. For a picture of the bird, see this link:
