PATIENCE---WAITING ON THE LORD

---WAITING ON YOU

You say

You are waiting on the Lord

To change your life

I have some news for you

He is

Waiting on you

Our Lord---Our God

Is there---always has been---always will be

His nature is UNCHANGING

His nature is LOVE

And he is

MADLY in love with you

My mother

Always taught me

That our help

Is at the end of our right arm/hand

I think

The same is true spiritually

Our God is there

We just have to make

The decision

To accept him in our hearts

And our God is a patient God

He will wait

A lifetime for you

“The Lord, the Lord

The compassionate and gracious God

Slow to anger

Abounding in love and faithfulness

Maintaining love to thousands

And forgiveness wickedness, rebelliousness, sin”                              Exodus 34:6

You say

You are waiting on the Lord

To change your life

I tell you

He is waiting on you

The good news is

If we are honestly trying

To get it right

If we are really really trying

Our God is a patient God

He will wait

A lifetime for you  ( and me  )

Patience is one of God’s gifts

A gift of the Holy Spirit

“But the fruit of the Spirit

Is love, joy, peace, PATIENCE,

Kindness, goodness, faithfulness.

Gentleness, and self-control

Against these things

There is no law”                                                            Galatians 5:22& 23

The Lord our God

Is a patient God

He will wait a lifetime

For you---for me

You say

You are waiting on the Lord

I tell you

He is waiting on you

Waiting on me

To get it right

But the GOOD NEWS

Is our God

Is a PATIENT God

A God

MADLY in love with you

And with me

And he will

Help us along our life’s journey

To eventually get it right

To COMPLETE us in God

And our Lord

“I thank my God---every time I remember you

In all my prayers for all of you,

I always with joy

Because of our partnership

In the Gospel from the first day

Until now

Being confident of this

That he who began

A good work in you

Will carry it on to completion

Until the day of Christ Jesus”                                                       Philippians 1:3-6

The Lord our God

Is a Patient God

Slow to anger

Quick to forgive

Our God

IS JUST WAITING ON YOU
---AND ON ME
