Andrea Benoit, Consecration Poem







At Any Cost

God, Irresistible object of my present, urgent need
I’m blind to the walls, the boxes, the forms, the unrighteousnesses

Because I Need You
Your Essence, Your Person, Your Element

I am willing to plough through
My anti-preferences, my opinions, my past
To find You in ANY measure where You Are
Because my need is You, more than anything else

Forbearance, forgiveness and heavenly amnesia, You are to me
In my focused, unmatched pursuit

You, the Supreme and single Object of my want
At any cost, for any loss
To Gain the Gold of God, I am determined, decided and not available for negotiation.
