14 Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests 15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16 From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.—Matthew 26
Lord,
how am I any different from judas iscariot?
I who betray and exchange You
for the cheap pleasures and satisfactions of this world?
I who turn away from the one true Diamond,
instead craving for temporary and counterfeit treasures
that turn out to be mud, slipping through the cracks of my heart
Lord,
forgive me
change me
i don't want to keep making the same mistake
trading joy for sorrow
doubting into disbelief of Your Majesty
Your glory
Your love...
be my first love once again.
