HUNGER

In my deprive nature

Staring at the obstacles

But my cravings

Kept me pressing on

I have heard people speak

Of the work of His hands,

What they saw

And their encounters

What about me?

Their words compelled me to yearn the more.

I sought to see him

Is all my quest

There is nothing stopping me

There was something

Something about Him

Something He had I needed

Money, status and fame could not fill that void.

In my small village

There were rumor

Rumor

Rumor of him passing through

It's now my chance to see him

To be in the pursuit of him

My 1st dilemma is that of the multitude

Multitude of multitude

How can I go pass them to see Him

For hours I press through

Labouring on

Pushing toward the mark

While some took advantage of me

I wish I can throw down the towel

I did but my desire would not let me

My famishment gave me no rest

I itch for him

Knowing He would pass that way

I outrank the crowd

To climb a tree

Exceeding my limit

I have come too far to give up

Not long after

He reached the spot,

The shock of a life time evolved

He looked up and called out my name

To hurry down that He would stay in my house tonight

Amazed and Shocked

He knew I was there all along

He knows me by name

Wanting to fellowship with me

I made haste and received him joyfully

To my house

Murmuring began to errupt

When the crowd saw this

They began to say to each other

He is the guest of a sinner

Yes, their claims were true

I, chief tax collector

Cheated people

Left ◀️ right ▶️ center, up 🔼 down 🔽

Have become rich

Sinner I am

I give half of my possessions to the poor

If I have taken anything from any man by false accusation,

I restore him fourfold, LORD

I did all I said

He said unto me

Salvation has come to this house this day

For the Son of man is come to seek and save that which were lost

He came to save people like me

It was because of me he came

My hunger, cravings paved the way

I met him and now filled

This is my encounter

I will never forget

My name is Zaccheus

My HUNGER is JESUS CHRIST
