Wait For The Perfect Timing

     Several years ago, at a teen group, a girl I didn't know and as far as I could remember had never seen before, walked up to me and handed me a piece of paper. She said, "I felt I should give this to you. I don't know why." Then she walked away and I never saw her again. And I believed God had answered my prayers. But when I opened up the paper and read the poem there, I could hardly believe that it was God's purpose for me. I had no notion that it might come true. But I believe it has. I found him. And I put these words of hope out there for all. Regardless of what you are looking for and what you need, trust in God. When He makes a promise, even if you don't know it was He who made it, He keeps it. Wait on God, and His Perfect Timing will shine in your life.

As I wait, I wish and pray-

Hoping to meet you someday.

Far away seems the time,

When you will hold me,

And be forever mine.

Terribly stretching seems

The wait for you.

Sometimes I pray

You'd just get here soon.

But what if I already know you?

And you I?

And if in the end,

God takes us by surprise?

Suppose there be a day,

When I wake to hear God say,

"My daughter, he is worth the wait.

Don't pursue a certain date

For my timing is perfect and never late.

A closing to a simple rhythm.

But never a close to the purpose

I have in mind.

So patiently await-

And disappointment you will never find.

For my timing is perfect and oh so divine.

It will sweep you off your feet,

And you will never regret,

This time of waiting-

As I see fit to complete."
