“Distractions“
by Brad Merchant
I love distractions
A glimmering phone
An exciting game
An enticing snack
I love distractions
But why?
I never feel satisfied
Seldom leave fulfilled
Rarely find joy
But why?
I’m in need
It’s hard to stop
I want to change
Today is the day
I’m in need
Could it be
That my heart is yearning for something more?
Something deeper than entertainment and longer lasting than a buzz
Something so satisfying, fulfilling, and, dare I say, eternal?
Could it be
I’m being invited
To a feast
A fellowship
A time of refreshing
I’m being invited
By Jesus Himself
Who kept His eyes on the Father
Who has His eye on me
I am loved
By Jesus Himself
