Faithful Lines

You are the God

Of the impossible

Well, at least what seems

Impossible to me 

You speak

And Your Word 

Never comes back void

I can rest in this

Have peace in this

Rejoice in this

Likewise I can rejoice

In brokenness

Knowing

A great healing is coming

Knowing

Suffering is the catalyst 

To promote growth and 

Further my hope

Jonah would never

Have called out to God

If his boat ride had been

Uneventful 

If he had retired

In Tarshish

But waiting

In the belly of the beast

Is difficult

The taste I have had 

Of Your kingdom

It’s the bellyache with no remedy

In this life

You Lord, You!

I look to You

I only want You

So I groan and pray

And wait and watch

And work and serve

And hope against hope

Romans 4:18, 8:18-38, Jonah 2
