28. Persist

"I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming." Luke 18: 5

*****

I'm gonna wear You down

now that I know Your secret

that You can't resist me

just like I can't resist You.

I'm gonna wear You out

asking for things I have no business having

comfort

peace

joy

love.

And I'm not gonna shut up

till I get them.

Oh yes, Lord, you're gonna get sick of me

at the sight of me

at the sound of me

coming down the road.

Draw your shades,

it won't matter.

Knock, knock.
