A Day at the Mall

















Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.1 John 2:15-17
He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.   Luke 6:39-40
I look at the latest gadgets,
the coolest toys,
the ultimate possessions;
all I see are things;
pieces of trash,
dead,
useless,
plastic,
lifeless;
my soul yearns for more,
my soul yearns for You;
I have spoken the words
You gave me,
I have shared the truth
You taught me,
I am tired,
I am worn,
there is nothing left,
nothing I desire;
I am ready for what
comes next;
blind guides leading the blind,
in love with the sound
of their own voices,
lost within the illusion,
deceived by their own vanity,
fading fountains of mist,
disappearing clouds of vapor;
here today,
gone tomorrow;
bring me home to You.
