Poem: Nothing compares

I've seen people grasping for air,


living for dreams that disappoint once they get there.


Here I am with a simple existence


living a dream becuase you are there.


Nothing compares to this love that we share!  


Thank you Lord for ripping the veil!

I was talking to a woman in her 40's recently, she has a nice home, children and a prominent career and all of her work has brought her here...and yet where is here? She isn't happy. Only the Lord can satisfy us. 

PSALM 81

 ⁶ “I removed the burden from their shoulders;
   their hands were set free from the basket.
⁷ In your distress you called and I rescued you,
   I answered you out of a thundercloud;
   I tested you at the waters of Meribah.^[c]
8 Hear me, my people, and I will warn you—
   if you would only listen to me, Israel!
⁹ You shall have no foreign god among you;
   you shall not worship any god other than me.
¹⁰ I am the LORD your God,
   who brought you up out of Egypt.
Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.

 ¹¹ “But my people would not listen to me;
   Israel would not submit to me.
¹² So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts
   to follow their own devices.

 ¹³ “If my people would only listen to me,
   if Israel would only follow my ways,
¹⁴ how quickly I would subdue their enemies
   and turn my hand against their foes!
¹⁵ Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him,
   and their punishment would last forever.
¹⁶ But you would be fed with the finest of wheat;
   with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
