So heartbreaking. Truly moving. I am in tears.

“I loved Him. I loved Him.”

All it took was once glance from Yasha. So powerful. One Embrace, One Glance, Two Words.

Thus far, I am immersed.

The Powerful Excerpt:

All that I had carried within me like a diseased cistern cracked and spilled out. I had thought myself spent, empty, and that there was nothing else he could say, in mercy or in belittlement, to me to cause me to excise any of it more. I was wrong.

"Judas," he said. "I will not leave you.”

I covered my face and wept.

Wow.

An excerpt I love:

His gaze returned to rest on me.

"The thing you seek is not along this shore, or in the hills. But with me.

Follow me."

Yes. I said it in my heart. I do not know if it made it to my lips.

From ‘Iscariot’ by Tosca Lee

That baptism scene. Judas’ yearning to be washed clean and with his lost.

So far it’s heartbreaking. When the handing over does occur, it’s going to be even more devastating.
