i don't understand the bible.
i don't get why some things seem so hidden, until your eyes are open.
i don't get why good verses turn old, when there is so much left to see
i don't get why it isn't clear from the start
i don't get why i can't grasp the most simplistic things in it's covers
i don't see how you could read something over and over, and never get what God was really trying to say
i wonder why. i do. and i beg to see something new, with new faith.
to see it the way it was supposed to be seen
to experience the wonders, the virtues, the teachings, the stories.
i'm not seeing it clearly
but oh, i want to
& i want it to engulf me, to swallow me,
i need it so badly.
