The Brink of Happiness
It seems to me often that I live on the brink of happiness...This is a place at times I would perhaps rather not be; but without the brink, there can be no ocean of blessings...So it is that sometimes I feel as though the brink is all I will ever see...It is in those times that faith plays a very important part in my life and thoughts...This is when I recall that without the precursor of blessing that it will most likely not occur...So there ebbs the brink of what is joy to come...
When I dwell at that split second of the brink, this is when I must remember that I can only see the brink presently...I am not privy to what is to come...In this, I must focus on the moment and enjoy the second that I breathe and am alive...For it is, the blessing will come without my giving permission or pressing the point that it is not soon enough there for me...
May it be that on the brink I can live fully and wait for the ever-present "on time" blessing...
On The Brink
On the brink of happiness
I cannot see across the horizon
Or have in view
What God has planned for me --
In the moment
He has already generously
Gifted to me
If I live in faith
I will find that then
I will understand
That living in the moment
Is His perfect plan...©
