With the temptation, there is a way of
escape, but the simple plastic pleasure overwhelms me. When I let it
come so close, it blocks out all the beauty far away and for a moment
it’s all I want. But once I reach out my hand to touch it, all the joy
it promised melts away leaving only a hollow shell to echo the guilt I
now feel.
The problem is that sin, brought so close blocks the light that once
warmed my heart. No, the sin itself does not block the light, but I must
choose to turn away from It to indulge my desire. Once turned away, I
have rejected all that is good and true and light and joy in one simple
action.
Turning back is hard, but/because it forces me to humbly crawl back
to the only one who can give me what I desire. In my stupidity I first
turned away, but in his ever-present grace, I am welcomed back again and
again if I will only choose to return.
