Susan LaffertyPoor in spirit? It takes drawing near to You for me to understand.
In Your Presence, reality reigns.
Your light reveals empty substitutes for true riches encroaching.
Your Word speaks. Opening arrogant eyes. Unstopping stubborn ears.
Truth. Zeroing in on where I’m prone to wander.
Tired. In the face of closed doors and shuttered hearts.
Discouraged by disinterest. Low-grade resistance.
Some could care less about eternal realities.
It’s easy to feel like giving up.
It’s no secret. There’s strategy in advertising. A bid for my buy-in.
“If you conform, you’ll truly be successful.” In your field. Home. Community. Life.
“Purchase that to make your life complete.” “Wear this particular clothing line to fit in and stand out.”
“You’ll never move ahead if you don’t hold to this worldview.”
So they say. Or insinuate. Messaging at every turn.
