Recall those childhood years
Where we were so focused on
Protecting what’s mine
Whether crayons or toys.
❤️
Some days I wonder
Whether I have grown up
Enough to see how others
Have even greater needs.
❤️
I can be so focused on
Protecting what’s mine
I forget Your greater command.
Loving the lonely, the poor, the stranger.
❤️
We may think we earned it
But deep down we know
It was Your provision all along.
All of it. Never mine. Always
Yours.
