ELASTIC LOVING

You really are in love with me, aren’t You?
Again I’ve broken free from Your grip,
Running swiftly toward the cliff,
I offer myself to be sifted as wheat,
My prayers are halfhearted,
I have starved myself of You,
Letting my mind feed off thistles,
Enjoying the bruises that follow,
‘Just this once more’, I say,
Then I’m done disgracing You,
I’ll just look at the gourmet meal,
I promise, I won’t eat it,
Scouts honor!
Knowingly You smile,
Bringing to remembrance Your word,
True, lord,
I’ll be licking my fingers before You say J,
Shouldn’t have stayed off You for a second,
Now I’m weak,
Willing to self destruct.
But loving You,
To my rescue again,
My redeemer,
My saviour,
Bringing me to safety.
Always stay near, lord,
Forgive my whims,
Keep me in check,
And I’ll be a son for life.

it's the unfailing love He has for us regardless of all our limitations.

Straight from the heart said...

His love for us never grows dim, dull or runs dry, it's never ending and overflowing regardless of how far we try to run from him.
Nicely written

And you are a son for life! And "because ye are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts" Gal 4: 6 to help us to behave like sons.
