Daze 6: That Are You Waiting For?

So what are you waiting for? Waiting to see and be with your family and friends again? Waiting to get out again, back to your "normal life"? Waiting to get back to or find work? Waiting for unemployment or the "big" check from the the government to arrive? Or just waiting for all this to end? The list is endless. So what's all that waiting about?

For me, I think waiting is another word for longing. Honestly? I am waiting/longing to get a new body and give up this earthen vessel back to the One who created it. I am waiting to run (something I haven't been able to do in years) with Jesus in His Home and mine. And I am waiting/longing for my children and grandsons to see the goodness of God in their lives and be able to join me there. I am waiting/longing for them to find Him to be greater than any other satisfaction in their lives. 

But my bottom line, more than any of the above, is to let my heart long for and wait on one thing -- to be dazzled by His goodness, not dazed by a virus. Here's today's poem about waiting for Jesus.

Waiting for Jesus

Speak, my heart is waiting,

            Waiting for your power.

Only you can free me,

            In this holy hour.

Only by Your Spirit

            Can I see Your light.

Only one with you, Lord,

            Will I endure this night.

It’s You I wait for, crying,

            Let my heart be still.

Let me hear Your Voice, Lord,

            Still me with your will.

You alone are mighty,

            I am weak indeed.

You alone can meet me,

            You alone I need.

Only You can draw me,
           With Your Voice alone.

Come with healing power,

            From your mighty Throne.

My hungry heart awaits you,

            Waits for You to speak.

Open my eyes to you, Lord

            Make my heart complete
