“You shall worship the Lord, your God,
and him alone shall you serve”
(Lk 4:8)


Not to know
or
to forget that

my deepest desire is
to do God’s will 

that I am
rooted
in Christ
is blindness—

to deny that my deepest
desire
is to do God’s will

to deny that I
am
rooted in Christ

is a lie—
delusion

is darkness
is belief in nothing
is death

He came that
we
might have life

and have it
more
abundantly

J. Janda
