I had not been a Christian very long and I remember being sat in a car park before going into work and this poem just expressed how I longed for a deeper relationship with God. It helped me be honest about where I was at and to own that I desired this with all my heart.

Coffee Break God

Too often I treat you as a coffee break God
Giving you a slot in my day from which I leave refreshed
But ready to return “to the rest of life”
But you are a living fountain welling up constantly
Bubbling perpetually
Never to be confined to one cup
To be drunk like a dose
And then emptied
Once each day or twice or three times
Ticked off, and signed for
Drug administered
No Lord
May I drink from you always!
For the more I sip
Then the more I thirst for the “rest of my life” to be irrigated by channels which overflow
To bring your blessings to others from a constant exchange at your wellspring
