The social difference created by trading carnality for spirituality. |
I’m not man enough to fill the hole in your soul. Your need supersedes my abilities. The expanse of your desire is a chasm that would swallow me whole. On my hands and knees I have made it this far, understanding that the closer I am to the ground the less it hurts when I fall. My heart cowers from repeated failure as I have pursued the impossible. I am smitten by the sin of engaging in a battle I cannot win. To please the unpleasable, to satiate the insatiable, and quench the unquenchable. Although I am broken and torn at the realization that I cannot be what I set out to be my spirit is unperturbed. I have learned a valuable lesson. It’s easy now to see when someone outreaches me; they may feel the need to proceed to chase the vanity with all their vigor. I cannot expend the precious energy of a single lifetime. It is too important to waste on the things that do not satisfy. I cannot feed the starving with anything other than the truth. If they refuse then what can I say or do? I’m not man enough to fill the hole in your soul. Isaiah 55 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. 2 Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? |
