Absolved

The one who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new." - Rev 21:5
 

 
Expert at making excuses, that one.
But mostly she found it hardest to be honest with herself.
She gave up trying to scrub away the last remnant of soot;
stubborn spot.
 
Realizing she could not go it alone,
some things require a miracle.
She turned away and waded through 
the pride slipping through her fingers,
gnarled and blood-red,
offering that which remained.
 
From the throne, grace on grace.
And the confidence of knowing
 
 I make all things new.
