Transformation

It’s soulcraft.

God wants nothing more
than for you to become whole.

There is only one caveat:
you must humbly accept this invitation
and undertake an arduous journey
through many difficult experiences.

Then one day
you may come to recognize
your ultimate destination,
when your soul discovers
its one true purpose,
and henceforth everything
you say and do is imbued
with a transcendent love.

This is the way
humans are transformed
and thus become able
to transform others.
