Leaning into You
You’ve given us
A beautiful world
And yet
We abuse
The privilege
And honor
Because we don’t
Love or appreciate
Our blessings
Much less
Count them
God redirect me
So I do
Miss the message
As my sin
Tells me
You’re taking
Too long
Fulfilling Your Promises
Or are those
My wishes
Speaking
Rather than
Your wisdom
It really makes me stop and think about gratitude and patience the way you explore doubt and faith is so personal and powerful.
ReplyDeleteGod's blessings are so real all of the time but I tend to take them for granted. Your posts are wonderful reminders for me.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

ReplyDeleteI need to print this out and use it as part of my daily prayers.
ReplyDeleteTruthfully and beautifully written...
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you have been without internet, glad it has been restored. I do try to count my blessings each day, and focus on the positive instead of the hard, but we are all a work in progress.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good reminder of God's promises and His answers in His time. Some of mine have taken longer than I would have liked to be fulfilled. He always keeps His promises. ALWAYS! He ever goes back on a promise. You have a wonderful way of expressing your inner feelings.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless and keep you safe always. Hugs!
OOPS! That should be "He never goes back on His promises."
ReplyDeleteThe Lord is the ultimate promise keeper, so don't doubt Him for a moment!
ReplyDeleteGreat words. Thanks for sharing.
