I wish I never saw you
I wish I never met you
I wish I never knew you
I wish I never fell for you
But it happened anyway
And sometimes I wish you'd go away
Instead I see you everyday
And my mind's messed up like a mountain of hay
How I wish you would not ask
About my bitter sorry past
For I long to say to you
My feelings of love so true
Wish I knew just what to say
I feel more hopeless with each passing day
How I wish you would be mine
O God, please show me the time!
"Look up, my son, and look at me
And the Bloodstained Cross of Calvary
The Bride I died for is mine yet be
Like you, I am waiting, so be like me
How I long to hold you close
Behold your beauty like a rose
The time is not right, be patient, like me
My plan for you, soon, you'll see"
My Father, forgive me for breaking Your time
For taking what's Yours and making it mine
May I always look up and see
The Son, who bled and died for me
And if the Lord above allows
We'll one day make a sacred vow
And then, I will hear you say
Your Whisper, to me, everyday

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me in ernest, you will find me when you seek me. I will found by you," says the Lord. - Jeremiah 29:11-14a (NLT)
How often do we get impatient for waiting for answer from the Lord. It is as though God owes us an answer, when in fact, we owe Him our LIVES! How often do we fail to wait for His timing and get impatient and do things our way, and fail.
Sometimes, we need to look up and see the Cross again. And count our blessings. The Lord told the prophet Jeremiah that He will deliver Israel from its captivity in Babylon and He kept that promise. That is the context of that verse.
In the same way, we have already been freed from our captivity to sin by the Blood of Jesus. The Lord's plan for us, is for good and not evil. But sometimes we equate the blessings that we received to material blessings, money, wealth good girl or boyfriend...
How often do we stop and think that the Lord may choose to bless us in a completely different way?
The Blessings of pain
The Blessings of suffering
The Blessings of loneliness
The Blessings of singlehood etc etc...
All this can be counted as blessings too, for our real blessings are already stored up in heaven. Let us wait on the Lord. Don't make the Lord wait on us. And let's look at the Cross and remember we have already been blessed.
To those of us who are impatient to get into a Boy-Girl Relationship. Wait on the Lord. He will reveal His plan for you in time. Take heart and know this, that the Lord has been waiting for us as well.
We, The Church, is the Bride the Christ. And He has been waiting for us for over 2000 years. Let's be lke Him, and wait patiently for His will.
