The Violence of Want

The door to peace locked.  

For sure.  

And no Man holds the key.  


The door to loss is open wide

By the lack in you and me.  


For hopes are like a falling leaf

From a winter ravaged tree.  


A man rises now to promise peace,

Only fading from view.  

You’ll see.  


Such leaves will fall,

And grow again. 

A trillion hopes will die.  


Why give your dreams 

To someone who

Can’t satisfy you and I?


Wait for God in Christ.  

Be satisfied with “least”.  


Stop pining over what you can’t.  

Call out to He who’s Peace.

“Now, you’re really beginning to get on my nerves!  All you talk about is “god stuff”.  What possible use is that to me?  And how do you have the guts to poke it in my face 24/7?

Does it supply the paycheck?  NO!  I do that, and with all my might and will.  Does it fix the car?  Does this “god stuff” of yours help me compete against a ruthless horde?  NO!  I do that!

I’m sick of hearing about all this “heavenly, wonderful, useless crap”!  Get away from me!  I’ve had it with your filthy garbage.”

 

I paraphrase.  But isn’t that the essence of your wordless thoughts?  You have all the answers.  Or you’re just jabbing at the air, in hopes that something will stick.

Look at your pathetic life.  How many more “things” does it take to satisfy you?  The answer is “endless stuff”.  You live by the rule of selfish greed.  Why, you won’t even give God His rightful place.

You take and take.  For what purpose?  There is no purposeful end in sight.  If you got more money and more time to enjoy it, you’d fill up your filthy heart with more longing.  There is no satisfaction to the life you claim is more important that the things of God.  None!

Sit down and listen, while the day is still finding you clothed in skin.

You say, “I will do god things when I get to where God is.”  You foolish man.  In God, you live and move and have the being you praise so highly.

 

I wrote this to jar you up.  I wrote this to shame your proclamation that you “Know” where God should remain.  You post signs all over your soul:  “God stay away!”  “Keep out!  Life in progress.”

He will stay out.  But so will you!  Now you bar Him from His rightful place as first among all your things.  You will be barred from entry into the things of His Kingdom.

You will not do “god things” when you get to where God is!  You will certainly be rejected and die alone, poverty-stricken, hopeless, abandoned and forever rejected from eternal life.  A man gets what he wants in this life.  What he wants dictates what he does.  Those who desire God will do His Holy will HERE.
