I Am A Story

Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

For many people, the task of waiting, especially in the creative industry, is commonplace; and requires a lot of faith, perseverance, and determination.

Understandably, one can become discouraged, and dampened in spirit, as time goes on.

But, Our Father, has promised us that all our works shall be rewarded and brought to completion. We can depend upon His Word, His flawless Word, and we can continue on, for yet another day, because He sustains us.

If you are waiting today, for something, take heart. Do not remain discouraged. You certainly do not have as long as you did when you first began, to see the bearing of the fruits, the story unfolded.

A STORY IN WAITING

I am a story,
left yet to be told.
I sit alone in a basket,
just waiting, to be sold.

If only "somebody" would take the time to read,
they would surely find, that I fill a very
important need.

I wait patiently, twiddling my thumbs,
and in the Lord, I continue to trust,
I know that, in His perfect time,
He shall speak me into "Thus".

He knows I'm sitting here,
high upon this lonely shelf,
He has not forgotten all the hours it took,
and my sacrificial time of Self.

My pages are all crisp and clean,
they never have been turned.
But, oh, the joy, my story will bring,
once that it is heard.

I may gather just a bit of dust,
I may feel rejected and obscure.
But, at that moment, My Lord breathes me into life,
I will FOREVER endure.

I will bring a smile, perhaps, and some sunshine,
across someone's weary face,
Why, I may even bring a tear.
All the emotions, dammed up and spilled forth into words,
will be so wonderfully dear.

My soul will be laid all bare,
my heart, may be opened up wide.
But, it will be worth it all,
when others take a peek,
and see what lies inside.

Dedicated to all those who are in the "waiting" stage.
