Chosen
No matter how uncomfortable we are made by language of cleanliness or purity, our cleanliness or purity is of concern, in the end, to but one person. A person who asked us once: Who told you that you were naked? Who told you that you were dirty? He has already chosen us, sisters and brothers; and choosing us, he invited us to lay these categories aside and rest in His words, ‘I do choose.’
