the paradox of waiting

be careful not to assume the gift is in the goal

perhaps the greatest treasures are those we learn in the waiting

for it is when we are lean and we are green, puzzled on which way to go

God intercedes after we bleed deep inside our soul

the lesson to be learned, is it is a process, and each has a certain part

and perhaps the most important part is contemplative reflection

and the confidence to wait expectantly for direction and resolution

i would not be inclined to worship a God that could only help me sometimes

nor would i respect God if He didn’t require me to do my part

often that is waiting in peace and serenity until an issue is resolved

thank God for problems…………….thank God for answers
