    Selfish longing

    Lord,
    sometimes i wish you’d feign ignorance.
    but never when i need you.
    love,
    selfish me

    Someone has written that Jesus desires us to outgrow the selfishness that leads us to seek Him. I can't shake that thought. Nor do I really want to.

    AMEN!!!!!! Forgive me for being selfish! I so can understand this piece!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
