Be Still

"Rest in the Lord and wait
patiently for Him." Psalm 37:7

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."

"I know the plans I have for you,
The wondrous 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 gift's 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 Myself,
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"

I love this poem!!! It reminds me of how our timing is not usually God's timing. To us it seems like eternity, but to Him it is such a short time. Love ya!

Good morning, Alice! I'm so glad I stopped by this morning. Pausing and being still and waiting on the Lord is something I needed to hear! Once again you are His messenger. Hope you are having a wonderful day.
