Sometimes
we want to be
Somewhere else
Another time in life
A better place
Forgetting the good we have now
Wanting no struggle
Wanting not to want
Wanting more
Sometimes
we want to
Have priority
More money, time
More love, attention
Not recognizing what we have
That it’s enough
Even more than
But less than what we want
Sometimes we fear
Letting go of it all
Being lost & broken
Being hungry & alone
That’s when He comes closest
Loving the broken times
When we give in, open up
Our stubborn hearts
Sometimes trouble is an opportunity
For Him to clean out
The dirt and clutter
In our minds, our hearts
What we resist any way we can
He awaits and embraces
Fields ready for plowing
Fertile in our weakness
Sometimes we don’t know
How fortunate is our pain
Like a tool to break us
He cracks us open like a geode
To expose the gems
He’s buried within
