Waiting Room

Poem by Jonny Diez
Here in this waiting room  
Yearning for You to say go  
And though I'm convinced 
that a yes would be best
This time You're telling me no

It's not that I don't have an answer
 
It's just not the one that I'd like  
But through this time Lord 
I must keep in mind
You're always wiser than I

The things that I seek are from You
Like the strong healing touch of Your hand
But when You say no 
help me trust even though  
There's a reason I can't understand

Then that miracle comes
'cause Your answer is yes
I will praise You for all of my days  
But when Your wisdom declares 
that a no is what's best  
I will praise You just the same

You have a much better purpose  
And You have a far greater plan  
And You have a bigger perspective
Because You hold this world in Your hands

I thought this poem fit what we have been through this past week. 
What a statement the last 4 lines are. Puts us in our place and shows us we are not big and mighty as we like to think, but we really are this small speck in God's universe and He does have every thing under control.
