worth it to wait

Love the Lord, all you his saints!

The Lord preserves the faithful

but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage,

all you who wait for the Lord!

Psalm 31:23-24

It’s worth it to wait

  because although I live in time

  God’s periphery is eternity

  so the power is not mine

  to add or subtract one second

  from my life

It’s worth it to wait

  for trust comes to bring peace

  as my anxieties diminish

  and my control issues cease

  to dominate my thinking

  calm thought brings ease

It’s worth it to wait

  for Jesus is always faithful

  to provide for my needs

  and my soul is now grateful

  for all the love I see

  a lifetime now full
