Not Yet

(this is a rare occurrence because i don't blog here....)
anyway, i was rummaging through my stuff when i saw this little poem that really encouraged me when i was down.
so here it is...

Author Unknown

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!"
Sometimes i feel so lonely and
I'd like a mate
Your still small voice gets oh so clear and says,
"My Child... please wait!"
"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 gifts 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 My Son,
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 could never forget
Therefore, do not be discouraged when
My answer is
'Not Yet'."
