Thought for Today------------------------

MY LORD, IS THIS YOUR WILL?

Sometimes I ask the question,"My Lord, is this your will?"
It's then I hear you answer me,"My Precious Child ... Be still."
Sometimes I feel frustrated, cause I think I know what's best.

It's then I hear you say to me,"My Busy Child ... Just rest"
Sometimes I feel so lonely, and I think I'd like a mate.
Your whispering voice gets oh so clear and says, "My Child ... Please wait."

"I know the plans I have for you,the wondrous things you'll see;
If you can just be patient, Child, and put your trust in Me.
I've plans to draw you closer. I've plans to help you grow.
There's much I do you cannot see, and much you do not know.
But know this, Child ... I LOVE YOU.

You are Precious unto Me.
Before I formed you in the womb,I planned your destiny.
I've something very special I hope for you to learn.
The gifts I wish to give to you are gifts you cannot earn.
They come without a price tag, but not without a cost;

at Calvary, I gave My Son, so You would not be lost.
Rest Child, and do not weary while doing what is good.
I promise I'll come back for you, just like I said I would.

Your name is written on my palm,
I never could forget;
Therefore, do not be discouraged,
when my answer is ... "Not Yet"
