How foolish


O God,
how foolish we are
in casting Your pearls before swine!
How selfish we are
in sowing seed in disobedience and fantasy,
so that we can feel we are doing Your work!
If You had done what we are doing,
Your Son would never have come among us,
would never have done His work
that both saves and calls us into pure fellowship with Him,
commanding us to do the same.
Others have claimed to speak in Your name,
to speak for You, yet they did not show us Your face.
They left us with what they said were Your words,
and then withdrew.
They did not come among us,
love us to the death,
and save us.
