A World In Need Poem by Jeanette Telusma

We were born to desire something greater than ourselves.
As we search for it day in and day out our desire increases.
What could be that thing that our soul long for?
We touch, feel, examine, explore, and sometimes consume
That which appear to be that so called desired "thing."
At the end of the day
We conclude that it was not what we thought.
A world in need.
We are the world and we are in need.
In need of something that would fill the void,
A void that we have yet to completely understand.
What we need is right here now.
As many have come to realize
Money, material things, people, fame, status etc..
Can't satisfy the craving that lies deep down within.
Christ, the Lord, is the answer we've been searching for.
He is the missing link to the life we live.
He is the only thing, the only one that can
Bring total satisfaction to our unquenchable desire.
With Him comes love, unconditional love
That's designed to serve as glue
To bring the world together as one.
Christ desires no one to perish but have eternal life.
Love covers, love binds, Christ is love.
