They Wish You Well
They wish you well
They only want the best for you
Once you get over your delusions of grandeur
Once you come back to Jesus
They really want the best for you
Only the best
They don’t want you to suffer
But they want you to learn
Through suffering
They think
You will learn
humility
And come back.
Secretly they may even smile
Thinking God is finally giving you your due
your due of love
with a capital L
“The Lord loves whom He chastens.”
They thank Him
For finally
working in your life.
Better to die humble and a lamb
Than arrogant and an asshole.
But what they don’t know
is you are already humble
You were even before
The Steve Winwood song
Made more loving sense.
They would like to see you stay where you are
Thinking
“Yes
Finally
You will be corrected.”
When all along
Not once were you arrogant when you were successful.
And you never did ditch Jesus.
Of course, Jesus said what he usually says.
“No comment.”
