Dear God

I am weary from sin

Tired of falling

And crawling back up the hill

This apple I’ve eaten has left a bitter taste in my mouth

It’s skin was shiny, vibrant red

Baiting my bite into its flowery, worm-filled core

I want again now what I too quickly gave up

Intimacy with You

Now that I’ve tasted it

Nothing else will satisfy me

I need it God!

Like a thirsty beggar in the desert I need it

Let me once again be found and filled by You.
