You,
“The Passing of
Time”
Do you
mean the hymns you sing to me? Do you believe there is truth in my words as you
read them? I am calling your faith to question and putting it to the test. Can
you wait patiently for my constant salvation? Can you wait for my appointed
time? Can you wait as long as I say?
Well,
why not? When have I left you in a muddle without providing solutions? When
have you needed me and not seen my hand? When have you searched for me and not
found me? When have I ever broken my word.

Vow
after vow you make and break in my name. My grace abounds on your behalf and I
have never come like a bailiff to your door to collect. You have fallen and I
have lifted you up. You have forgotten me and I have come looking for you, my
child. Why do you doubt me when I simply ask you to be still and watch, to
trust and obey, to wait?
