A Longing for Jesus (a poem)

Hi Friends,

Life has been tough lately. but I notice that what God is growing in me is an ever deepening longing for Him. And so, I thought of this poem I wrote years ago . . .

The Moth

As a moth is drawn to light,

So am I drawn to You, my God.

Though the darkness presses in around me,

And my wings have wearied in the night,

Though I beat against unrelenting glass,

Still my heart longs for Your light.

I will keep flying, fluttering, straining

To be closer, closer, closer yet

To You, my desire, my life, my love,

Closer to Jesus, my Light.
