NOT YET


Sometimes I ask the question, "My Lord, is this your will?"
It's then I hear you answer me, "My Precious Child... be still."

Sometimes I feel frustrated, cause I think I know what's best.
It's then I hear you say to me, "My Busy Child... just rest"

Sometimes I feel so lonely and I think I'd like a mate.
Your still small voice gets oh so clear and says,
"My Child... please wait"

"I know the plans I have for you, the wonderous things you'll see
If you can just be patient, Child, and put your trust in me.

I've plans to draw you closer. I've plans to help you grow.
There's much I do you cannot see and much you do not know.

But know this, Child ..... I LOVE YOU. You are Precious unto Me
Before I formed you in the womb, I planned your destiny.

I've something very special I hope for you to learn.
The gifts I wish to give to you are gifts you cannot earn.

They come without a price tag but not without a cost;
at Calvary, I gave My Son, so You would not be lost.

Rest Child,  and do not weary of doing what is good.
I promise I'll come back for you just like I said I would.

Your name is written on my palm, I never could forget;
Therefore, do not be discouraged when my answer is "Not Yet"

That's a truly beautiful poem!  A blessing to me.

Thanks Al,
I have many more from the 12 years I was on solid ground with Jesus. I am so looking
forward to being inspired by His Holy Spirit once again to put pen to paper. The fog is lifting more quickly since I have found this site. God is certainly using CP to stir my heart towards serving Him whole-heartedly again in the very near future.
Blessings to you and yours,
Jo

Shinenlite, this is a wonderful poem. It really speaks to my heart.
