Every time
I think
I’ve learned
What God
Wants from
Me again
The reminder
Isn’t subtle
Anymore
He shows me
My disdain
And utter contempt
And He raises
The stakes
Ups the ante
And shows
Me where
My faith
Has some
Gaping holes
Grace He gives
He doles out
Hard truth
Without impunity
He says
Stop looking
To humans
To satisfy
They mean well
But their
First instinct
Isn’t your
Best interest
They will sell
What you most covet
Happiness
Joy or contentment
The fact is
Humanity
Can’t provide it
No money
Or person
Can give you
What I have
Your trust is misplaced
I seek You
I want You
Not for what
Is offered
But by
What I hope
To bestow
Upon you
Created in love
Always and forevermore
Amen and amen

So very true! Only God has the solutions to man's problems. I see "man has dominated man to his own injury" more and more!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a powerful reflection. It’s inspiring to see how you express the journey of faith and growth.
ReplyDeleteThe reminder to seek fulfillment beyond just the human experience is so important. There’s a deep beauty in trusting that divine love is always there for us.
That's wonderful!
