Nothing to show for my efforts.
Nothing! Nothing to see!
GOD! Where are YOU!?
I call to You in the mornings
I look for You in the noon hour
And I seek Your face in the evenings...
Isn't that what is always taught?
Ask!
Seek!
Find!
And NOTHING!
Where is God-Yireh
My dreams are scattered in the wind--
Dancing in mockery showing me what the world sees.
But You are there,
Aren't You?
I am something more than a failure--
Worthless and abandoned...right?
I will amount to something and
Make an impact for You...right?
So...I will try again.
Just like I've always been taught.
I call to You in the mornings
I look for You in the noon hour
and I seek Your face in the evenings...
Maybe--
Just maybe, I'll see the grand plan.
But, if not...I'll be okay with that too.
You did promise that one day I'll see the plans
And that they were good ones too!
But, I have to ask
When...when will I see it?
The promise, I mean.
When will I see it?
Will I be like Abram—
Waiting for a promised child?
If so...
That's okay with me too.
Because, I know that it will come
Just like the promise of Isaiah,
Or even the promised of our Messiah...
Oh...I see now God.
The blank wall isn't blank, is it?
It's merely not time yet
Always waiting for Your perfect timing.
And it's always perfect.
