And we got here,
loaded with disappointments,
without understanding our own paths
that led us to this kind
of collective insanity…
With our identity lost,
submerged in persistent rebellion,
we reap the fruit of our folly,
lost in the midst of alienation
and idolatries…
You have always known
about the human capacity
for voluntary madness,
bogged down in propaganda,
more lost than usual,
and disillusioned with the human utopias…
We need Your light…
but we are looking for a savior other than you,
though You are the true one, but no…
we prefer charlatans who lie to us,
and we believe against all reason
in their false promises…
We need Your light,
the one that shone the night you were born,
when You were stripped of Your own glory,
suckled and lying in a manger,
King of kings walking among us,
the Almighty humbly announcing
the arrival of His ever promised kingdom…
This is the Path we do not want to travel,
it is You whom we reject,
the center and consummation of history,
salvation within the reach of Your poured grace…
Come, Lord Jesus!
I truly treasure your work, Great post.
