Waiting for the significance
Waiting for the “thing” to happen
To make life ring, to sing, with purpose
To wake very morning automatically ALIVE and my course set plainly before me
… to change the world today.
Waiting… for the “it” that never comes
Growing frustration that it probably will not
… then…
Realization that waiting on God, life, other people to bring “it” to me is futile
That’s just not how it works!
Rather, God has told me already what matters to him
He is waiting on me to agree with him,
That here, now, right in front of me are the people
Who need what God wants to do for them
Through me
THIS is the “IT” I’ve wanted
To make a real difference every day.
Instead of waiting for IT to come to me,
I recognize that IT is THEM, it’s YOU,
Right here, right now
Loved by God, loved by me in practical ways
By his great love, justice, truth and compassion.
Living life united to my Father and to those around me
So, this is IT.
At last. Peace and total engagement in every day.
Amen.
