Settle Not

His jealousy for His own glory and His love for His creation--His love for you and for me--go hand in hand. God is Love.

Life in Him is sought, and slowly (it seems) He is seen;
His voice is
often subtle but His love is loud for sure.
So-called life in the
world is blasted in your face,
marketed for consumption yet also
consuming;
its cravings are carnal and its death, deceptive.


There is a kind of loudness in both love and lust. With love, I give up myself and the loudness comes in the form of finding something Better. With lust, the loudness is me, clear and obvious, but emptiness ensues as I find that there is nothing left to find.

Don't settle for instant, not
even for just floating about. Hang tough another day, be vigilant in the moment, don't settle and we'll find something Better.
