Why is it, that most of the time
we simply want relief
from our trials, our problems, our pain
more than we want the Reliever
who is the Source of all relief?
How does the Reliever feel
when we needy beings
clamor for what He has to offer
and not for Himself?
Is He a celestial sugar daddy
who pays our debts and gives us things
without asking anything in return?
Or might He be like any other loving being
who wants to be loved for who He is
and not merely for the blessings He can provide?
I know He is the latter
but my selfish heart wants what He can give
more often than I want to give myself to Him.
Poor schmuck.
