HIs Patient Love

 

When things don’t go the way we plan,
We tend to give God blame.
We question if He heard our prayer,
Or just denied our claim.
 
Like children, caught up in ourselves,
Thinking that we know best,
We tend to chastise Him and ask
Why He spurned our request.
 
Though now my trust is all in Him,
Back in my wayward youth
I often questioned why His plan
Outweighed my view of truth.
 
These days I thank Him for His grace,
For His steadfast mercy,
But, most of all, I’m so grateful
He loves me patiently.
 
Psalm 103:8
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
