Why

Why are you cast down oh my soul? 
Why are you dull and weary?
Why do you moan,even after knowing 
your Saviour took your worries .
Why do you seek pleasure in worldly things 
when there is heavenly treasure set for you?
Why do you cry for the worldly ones ,
when they don't do it for you?
Have you forgotten the amazing love ,
that you have received from the heavenly realms.
Who did not keep His precious son ,
but gave him away to save you from prison.

Beautiful inspiring poem, for God has called ones out to be separate from this world that one might show a love within one that is greater than the world: )
