“I warned you when you felt secure, but you said you would not listen.”  Jeremiah 22:21

I sense false security all around me:

The light comes from a switch.

The food comes from a box.

The water comes from a bottle.

The word comes from an advertisement.

The group leaves people out…on purpose.

I am separated from you, Security.

Free me to choose your true security:

Your light brings me from the darkness.

Your food nourishes my soul.

Your water refreshes me with new life.

Your word leads me to your house.

Your group loves me just as I am.

(c) 2015 Rev. Lil Smith
