His Proximity



If we crave for wealth
and toil day and night,
it might be accumulated
but our growing ambition
will not be mitigated.

If we crave for reputation
We might acquire it
if it is justified by others.
But One day it will be peeled off
and no more be efficacious.

If we are passionate for worldly love
and shed tears.
We might have it.
But one day it will be less strong
and we can't be charmed by it.

But if we seek first
the kingdom of heaven,
all others shall be added unto us. (Jesus)
So we must seek His proximity
and give up unholy thirst.
