Ways of appreciating

Do you find yourself
Pleased to discover that you believe?
Then continue
Through to the end.
At life's poker table
Do you look down
And see yourself flush with chips?
Then push them all forward
For greater gains than these.
You have not arrived
O sojourner of the heart;
Your great love is there
Just there
Beyond.
Make your steadfast way
For he is a great prize,
And you will know when you have him.
Just as now, in the having
There is still striving
For more,
More of the precious drink
That bursts to everlasting life.
Have you yet anything to give?
Then give and give it all.
Give each last drop of worship.
It can't be better spent.
