PatienceDA 1-26 + 10-18 tp

 

So far, in this life,

   I’ve met all of my needs

from without

   and not from within.

 

Are all my needs mine?

   or are my needs His;

Perhaps, the meaning of sin?

 

A perfect work,

   that, I can’t perform;

It must be given,

   as I am conformed...

 

to His beautiful image,

   that I’ve tried to be,

as I strived to “work”to eternity.

 

I never knew that His suffering

   was “waiting”

for God’s way presented to Him;                               

This wonderful Jesus,

   revealing to me,

the real meaning of sin.

 

The fruits of not waiting

   are rarely noticed

and they bring much

   glory to us;

These good looking works

   are never suspected

as an absolute lack of trust.DA 1-26 + 10-18 b

 

Attainable desires

   of my heart, set before me,

are so very hard to resist

   and there’s always that option

to bring glory to me,

and say, “ God has

   blessed me with this.”

 

Was it God or me?

   The question remains.

Was I busied from Him?

   Was trust at all gained?     

 

Now, truth revealed

   is not to condemn;

is not to bring fear

   or even offend;

But, rather, that I

   will ask Him to fix

this terrible temptation

   that I can’t resist;

 

And to open my eyes

   and unplug my ears,

They’re so use to my voice

   that is lord,

And know that He promised,

   Will  present, as a gift,

my desire... that I can’t afford.DA 1-26 + 10-18 c

 

Herein lies debt,

   that will hold me in chains:

to lock me into

   what I must maintain.

 

This desire that I’ve worked

   so hard to receive,

now has its own life

   and the power to deceive,

 

For I find it controls me

   to keep me insisting

that this is a blessing,

   Yet, I know I’m resisting

the way that He called meDA 1-26 + 10-18 d

   to walk and receive

my desires from His hand

   but I couldn’t believe....

 

How complete His payment,

   in all that He did,

To walk in this life

   and all ways to live...

 

Experiencing His love,

   that delights to give,

and trusting He’ll do

   every word that He says.

 

Who knew, He became perfectDA 1-26 + 10-18 e

   through the sufferings to wait

and submitted Himself,

   by refusal to take

one thing not given,

   so death could die

and life would be risen;

   in you and in I:

 

To prove Gods plan,

   from the very beginning:

A gift of life

   that is never ending....

 

so that working and burdens

   and cares are dead,

If I will receive

   my inheritance instead.

 

The Lie’s in the shadows,

   Where it loves to lurk,

So, indeed,

 

       “Let Patience

   have her perfect work”
