offered

 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
