Yearning to Live in the Spirit


If only wishes came true!
Well, at least this one- a quest to live only in the spirit
Wishing the flesh never existed, that I never tasted sin; lusted after it
That this body never knew filth and the fight to remain holy never brewed or rared its ugly head

O Adam, why did you have to eat the fruit from that forbidden tree?
Why did you have to "open" my eyes? I mean, REALLY?!!
Even when I know that it was all part of the Master Plan-
I still have these itchy questions.
O Adam! *shaking my head*
Now I know sin and sin knows me
It pursues me but I try to run ahead of it
Sad to say though- it sometimes catches up with and bruises me in the race
Reminding me of me 'Oh So Imperfect' nature
Blah!

Kill it with the alarms already! Just kill it!
I need to move on, I WANT to move on with "my" life
Sin just let me be- I've had enough of you already!
I've changed my diet for the betterment of my health
The Doctor recommended a one-a-day dosage of Christ is sufficient
Yet in my search for medicine, the temptation continues to hang around-
Nakedly (yet undiscerning) on the supermarket's shelves 

These packages reveal only 45% of the recommended dosage
And the rest... a dilution to fill the storage container and give "ChristBits In A Jar" or "Almost Like Christ"
But reading the ingredients (which might I add, were too small to read from a distance) listed the additives: gossip, pain infliction, selfishness and lust of the flesh
Tout sa?!
I ain't no fool to realize what this product did- and in no way was it helping my situation
Almost like a heart attack waiting to happen
Forget it! I just need Christ
Nothing else, just Christ

*putting that bottle of sin down, running away arms waving and shouting*
Jesus! Sin wanted me; I picked it up but did not ingest it!
I just need You- You alone! 
Sin let me be for I found Christ my Master finally and I am free!
