I don’t think one can have true beauty without humility and that this humility could be a way to salvation. Your poem is beautiful.

not sure wat this ment sorry
but it was still a nice mix of words

"Petrified" means made of stone. The first part represents a heart that is hardened, finally giving in to God's love.
"Humility" is being humble (you should remember that one from Bible class). It is speaking of both Jesus' humility at the cross, and of ours when we admit we are sinners.
"Ushers in" basically means "brings."
"Redemption" is another word for salvation..it means "bought with a price." The price, of course, was Christ's blood. It could be written in simpler terms like this:
A hardened heart softens,
finally gving in to God's love.
Humility
brings
salvation.

What a delightful piece! Wow, it's really inspired, I can tell. You've been set a challenge to limit your words, and with so few words you have shown such vivid and beautiful imagery, meaning you've chosen and organised your language very well. A lucid opening and an effective end. You have true talent, I hope you know that
Keep up the good work!
God bless,

Okay friend, I like everything about this...from the background to the arrangement, to the title...I love the title...what a brilliant definition for propitiation. I bet some people will have to look that word up! Once again, you've managed to cleverly say so much in just so few words. Good luck in the contest...you should win!
