Cruel childhood friends
gave me better gifts for
birthdays and Christmases,
Pretty-wrapped boxes
full of dirty-driveway rocks,
Than the gifts the world
still offers us to this day:
pretty-wrapped packages,
with even prettier ribbons,
but with nothing but empty
inside.
Don't be fooled,
don't chase pretty,
don't settle for empty,
When God offers
a gift so full, no lid,
no bow could hope
to ever keep it all in,
Salvation for our sins
and a gracious guide within.
John 3:16
2 Corinthians 9:15
Acts 2:38 |
