At this point in life, I know enough to know
That I don’t know enough.
I’ve seen enough to know that
I wish I hadn’t seen what I’ve seen…
And I wish that I had seen what I haven’t seen.
I’ve heard enough of what I didn’t want to hear…
And not heard enough of what I did want to hear.
I’ve gotten what I wished for…
and realized I wished for the wrong thing.
Too many people, not enough help.
Too many needs, not enough hands
Too much sorrow, not enough love.
I’ve ached enough for two lifetimes,
and I’m only halfway through with this one.
I want to know more…and feel less…
But feel more…and know less.
I think I understand how God views the world…
that this is so very much not what he intended.
I long for the Garden of Eden…
for restoration and healing.
This world is not my home…
And yet it is.
I want so much more than this.
And I want so much less of this.
Intervene, Heavenly Father.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus.
Speak comfort, Holy Spirit.
I can’t do this without you.
