O God,I have never known you to coerce, to punish, or to condemn, but you have made me wait.It was the waiting of a pregnant Mother sensing a new birth.
You have made me wonder, But it was the anticipation of one longing for a vision of the next great gift of love.
You have made me cry,but it was the cleansing of an
inner soul too full of itself.
So, Dear God, when next the night comes and the wind howls, I will remember that waiting has been worth it, wondering has been fulfilling, crying has made me deeper. In the name of the One who is Mystery itself.
Amen.
