For the Disappointed

You have stood on the shore

and waited for your ship to come in.

You have searched the horizon until your eyes ached,

waiting for it to come into sight.

But the ship you look for is not coming.

It has been lost at sea.

You know that,

For the wreckage has come drifting in

and is even now at your feet.

Why do you continue to gaze longingly

at the distant horizon, hoping your ship

will by some miracle appear?

Turn your eyes. Look in the other direction.

There you see coming into sight

what I the Lord have prepared for you.

It is not fully visible;

it is only a puff of smoke on the horizon,

but it is coming, and it is for you.

You are going to be surprised!

You are going to be made glad!

You will not be disappointed

in what I have personally chosen for you.

Have I ever failed to keep My word to You?

You have not always had your way,

for My ways are not the same as your ways.

You have not always seen the answer

you thought would come,

for My thoughts are higher than your thoughts.

But I will not fail you.

There will be a fulfillment of what I have spoken to you.

Do not be afraid to trust Me.
