Just Wait

*This is a very nice poem i found somewhere in my friend's room, it really touches me and i really did learn something from this poem. It really speaks up what is in my heart, and really all i need to do is just wait...*

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 shorthed? 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'll resign.
You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe,
We need but to ask, and we shall receive.
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 leanr 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.
he depth that's beyong getting just what you ask
From an infinite God who makes what you have last.
You'd never know should your pain quickly flee,
What it means that My grace is sufficient for thee.
Yes, your dearest dreams ovenight would come true,
but oh, the loss if I lost what I'mdoing in you.
So, be silent, My child, and in time you will see
That the greatest of gifts is to truly know Me.
And though My answers seems terribly late,
My most precious answer of all is still..."WAIT".
