The world pressed in on me,
and I pressed back
knowingly.
Knowing it was not good for me,
I let my thoughts
settle on something
offering a distraction,
and more.
It held my attention,
which was given
freely.
It did not satisfy.
I was left with
a sour sensation
of hollowness,
and although
the thought had
not yet manifested
into external action,
intimacy had been
broken between
the Lord's heart and mine.
It was my doing,
and I had to do
the undoing,
repenting and returning
to the altar of grace,
asking for my heart
to be softened again,
to become a heart
of flesh
sensitive to the Spirit's
leading and wise
boundary marking.
My peace is restored
by the One who knows
what is the best for me,
if I am willing to listen.
