“what makes you think i want all of your sacrifices?”
because I am the one doing something about all of this now. i am trying to fix my own mistakes. i am trying to help fix others. i am godlike in that i have sacrificed my time, my money, my goals... for you!
“i am sick of your burnt offerings”
but i burn them, i hurt when they burn. it is not like this is neglect. i have sacrificed a whole lot!
“when you come to worship me, who asked you to parade through my courts with all of your ceremony?”
i do it for you though! when i have the time to celebrate you, i celebrate you. when i have time to live for you, i do!
“stop bringing me your meaningless gifts; the incense of your offerings disgust me!”
how can you say they are meaningless?! its my life, i need them to mean something! why are you condemning ME!?
“I hate your... celebrations... they are a burden to me. I cannot stand them!”
but i love you in them. i love how i feel in them.
“When you lift up your hands in prayer i will not look.”
then i will beat my hands bloody until you listen
“Though you offer many prayers i will not listen”
jesus... why?
“for your hands are covered with the blood of innocent victims. Wash yourselves and be clean!”
where can i wash myself then?? in my church? in the lake? in my bed?
how?? what can i sacrifice? what can i do? should i pray ‘forgive me’ more? should i give more? should i work more? should i feel more? should i love more?
‘“Get your sins out of my sight. Give up your evil ways.”
... i feel i am god at times....
“Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of the orphans. Fight for the rights of widows.”
i will prove that i can love you! poverty will end in my lifetime!! ... i am sorry. go on. how can i do this?
“Come now, let’s settle this!,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.”
it is not about me and what i must do. it is about you and what you have done.... thank you, thank you, thank you....
