“Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! Quite apart from us you have become kings! Indeed, I wish that you had become kings, so that we might be kings with you!” 1 Corinthians 4:8

that’s the problem

with you, God – you

expect us to be satisfied

with what we already have,

while we look around

and see only the things

we don’t hold onto and

want to clasp in our tight

greedy grasp
