I ask forgiveness (yet again).
Inadvertently I have maligned Him –
disparaged my own cleverness, blamed
my inventive mind for my underdeveloped heart.
I forget in frustration that it is all a gift from God.
I could fall back upon that old guilt-ridden dichotomy –
the misappropriation of a divine bequest
for selfish ends, but I no longer believe
in separating myself from God’s involvement
nor His sovereignty, deeming any judgment
rendered on my own terms a misapprehension.
My cleverness, like every other endowment from God,
manifests His will and serves Him
(and me) ultimately in His divine game.
O child of God, you have been given all the attributes
you need to move your soul nearer to the goal.
