“My God and my (Most) !”
‘God’ and ‘All’,
two so-close words
yet still so far apart-
a tension there,
unsure
un-given All
to Him
who asks for All.
What if I give
this bit
and that,-
the most of me, perhaps,
but still
not All?
I want to hold some back
to feel secure,
that I am in control.
He waits, he looks, he quietly
insistently
pervasively
oh so thoroughly
wants nothing less
than All.
And so, each day, he comes to me again
and sits by my Well
and asks—– for All.
“If you but knew who it is who says ‘Give me—’ (John 4:10)
you would have asked him and he would have given you…”
All.
(Just do it!)
