My Patience

The Builder's Pride

Builder imagining, gathering, measuring, assembling;

polishing, admiring, displaying, resembling.

Creation awakening; disputing, cutting, scraping;

realizing; hoping, refitting; remaking.

Wonderful Choices

Each call for help, celestial glue. All this demand, the workers are few; and, you want to play in your pants.

Persistent demonstration; repentance, and a new revelation; a high-pitched call, chasing moments of salvation. All the wonderful things we are called to do, and you want to play in your pants.

Time winding-down now, and a rush to solve; the trials come heavily, unveiling resolve. All the blessed things we were called to do, while you chose to play in your pants.

The Victor's Way

No surrounding hedge to block attempts; the relentless blow crushes persistent contempt.

Come-Hither

I’ve been contemplating this word “patience,” I may be called to state where I stand; it will demand perseverance! And my come-hither test is nigh at hand. I just want to put a short end to these shenanigans, you know, break-a-loose. But this patience persists; it restrains my intents, and again reaps its due.

During the Wait

God will deliver judgement soon enough, and assuredly as He wills. In the meantime, and during the wait, these words are written - Thou shall not - still.

Waiting Patiently

The gift flows, perpetual; except that it's spilled. The benefits never collect much, they never accrue; yet, it flows; mercy flows, and flows, and flows.

Trustworthy

God is trustworthy, and this is true. He delivers promised blessings; some punishments too.

Say What

You have to suspend a lot of belief, and understanding, to render that conclusion.

The Sower

I will reap what I sow? Well, maybe, sometimes - someone will reap what I sow - perhaps in the end; but, in the meantime let's run amuck!

Let the partying begin.

Reckoning Day

Lord teach us to live in this afflicted world, that by your words we may be whole. Standing against sin, sickness and decay, we move redeemed and prepared to meet, our reckoning day.

Fair Deal

Hard-working, washed. Traveling with visible hands; willing to work long hours, and walk on reasonable waters.

Grains of Truth

I suppose there's a grain of truth, amongst those words; although light-weight grains never cure thoughts absurd.

Leaks

Things leak, and so do words; they spill their meaning so, leaving pools of clarity around our feet; it's a playful game of hide-and-seek.

Gone Astray

Love is a God ingredient; it helps point the way. When love leads you away from God's commands, the preferences have gone astray.

Patience

As my exhausted breath spills, restlessly on visible determination, Lord remind me of you.
