Waiting on God?!?

PRAY BOLDLY

Started by Saida Del Rosario May 22

Hi All, Im new to your group and quite excited... I thought I'd share to you all a little snippet written by Joyce Meyer: "There are things God has spoken to me - things He has placed in my heart - that I have not seen manifested yet. Some of them have been there as long as fifteen or sixteen years. Other things He spoke around the same time have come to pass. I used to be confused.Now, I am no longer confused, I am expecting. My time can come at any moment, any day - maybe today - and so can yours." I found this quite encouraging and I pray that you do to... Just as Candice Watters mentioned in her book, "get married, " we should all PRAY BOLDLY: "For those of us who are called to marriage, it's nothing more than asking Him to give us what He wants us to have." Your sister in Christ, Saida Reply »

Wait - A poem by Russell Kelfer

Started by Rebeccaatthewell Apr 21

I found this poem in a book and it speaks to me - I thought it might speak to yall too. Wait by Russell Kelfer Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried; Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied. I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate . . . And the Master so gently said, "Wait." "Wait? you say wait?" my indignant reply. "Lord, I need answers, I need to know why! Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard? By faith I have asked, and I'm claiming your Word. "My future and all to which I relate Hangs in the balance, and you tell me to wait? I'm needing a 'yes', a go-ahead sign, Or even a 'no' to which I can resign. "You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe, We need but to ask, and we shall receive. And Lord I've been asking, and this is my cry: I'm weary of asking! I need a reply." Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate, As my Master replied again, "Wait." So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut, And grumbled to God, "So, I'm waiting for what?" He seemed then to kneel, and His eyes met with mine . . . and He tenderly said, "I could give you a sign. I could shake the heavens and darken the sun. I could raise the dead and cause mountains to run. "I could give all you seek and pleased you would be. You'd have what you want, but you wouldn't know Me. You'd not know the depth of my love for each saint. You'd not know the power that I give to the faint. "You'd not learn to see through clouds of despair; You'd not learn to trust just by knowing I'm there. You'd not know the joy of resting in Me When darkness and silence are all you can see. "You'd never experience the fullness of love When the peace of My spirit descends like a dove. You would know that I give, and I save, for a start, But you'd not know the depth of the beat of My heart. "The glow of my comfort late into the night, The faith that I give when you walk without sight. The depth that's beyond getting just what you ask From an infinite God who makes what you have last. "You... Reply »
