He who promised is Faithful

It seems slow, wait for it,
it will surely come;
it will not delay.
In His appointed time,
it will surely come.

He knows my heart,
my longing and dreams.
I couldn't hide anything from Him.
And at times, 
when this season comes
I asked Him, 
"when will be my turn?"

I prayed for a good man
but He said, "No, I'm still preparing the best"
And I asked, "when?"
He said- WAIT.

I met a good man,
and I uttered, "maybe it's him"
I tried to get to know him better
get along with him
and I was fascinated.
But He said, "NO, surely it's not him!"

I get frustrated,
wishing there's someone waiting for me too,
hoping there's someone praying for me too.
I burned the letters and poems,
'cause He said it's not him.

He didn't answer my prayers,
but He answered my mom's prayers.

When I was a kid
I wonder, why my mom always prayed at night.
I always pretend to be asleep,
but I heard and often memorized her prayers.
Since then, she has been praying for my future spouse,
-a godly man, kind hearted man, and a man after God's heart.

And right now, 
I realized her prayers protect me from heartaches and troubles.
And I utter the same prayers now.

I know it will surely come,
on His appointed time.
I looked upon Him,
and uttered, "Thank you!"
And He said, " Surely it will come!"

For still the vision awaits it's appointed time; it hastens to the end- it will not lie. It seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright with him, but the righteous shall live by faith.

Habakkuk 2:3-4

Back Home

When I had nowhere to turn. He was the only place I could come home to. When I had no shoulders to lean, His arms were so wide and His shoulders were so warm. He pulled me again close to His heart and never left me. He carried me and turned my mourning into dancing. He said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you My child."
