Worth the Wait

I’ve wasted so much time,
Looking for the perfect guy.
I kept falling in infatuation,
But each time it was all a lie.

I’ve suffered much heartbreak,
As a result of the temporary.
I kept optimistically jumping in,
Hoping just once the results would vary.

But they never once did,
The end was always the same.
I ended up broken hearted,
More often than not, also ashamed.

When I step back, I realize,
I was looking for a man among boys.
I should have expected heart break.
For they treated my heart like their toys.

My biggest problem of all was this,
I was desperately searching for “love,”
But my priorities were terribly amiss,
I should’ve been pursuing God above.

It was only when I fell in love with Christ,
That he decided to bring you along.
I’ll love you yesterday and today,
Tomorrow, forever, all my life long.

It’s all so perfectly different this time.
You’re everything the others were not.
Everything is falling into place.
You are so much better than I ever thought.

To the one who’s feeling restless, 
Watching the time tick away.
Take it from me, don’t rush it!
Because God does not delay.

It may take some time and patience,
But God, he never runs late!
Just fall in love with the Father,
He’ll bring someone that’s worth the wait.

The Speed of God's Timing

Where do you get off thinking,
God’s timing can only be slow?
If my God does not delay,
Is a quick answer less thorough?

Why do we only speak of patience,
When we discuss the timing of God?
Did it ever cross your minds to brace yourselves,
Because his timing might be faster than you thought?

How dare you make your judgments,
Based on absolute speed alone!
Asking not about my prayer life,
Or these convictions of my own!

Forgive me, but I don’t feel naïve to say,
Speed does not determine validity.
We serve a God outside our concept of time,
Outside of slowness or rapidity.

I’m not accusing you of no faith in God,
As much as it seems to be a lack of trust in me.
If you would just think outside the box,
You might discover more than you currently see.

I dare you to think bigger than your fear,
I dare you to give me a little more credit.
I dare you not to worry about speed,
Trust that I am walking as led by the Spirit.
