JUST NOT BY FRIDAY

If we steadfast seek it,
        feel we truly need it, 
                    heed it as heart moving and joy fueling,
                            then spirit will send it, but the when 
                            we decide is a date He will override.

Faith is more than asking, it’s relaxing even when
time leads us to believe too much of it has passed for  
Him to show up on our behalf.  Faith is knowing we
need not know what He knows about the perfect 
timing for all things.  From revealings to healings to 
tangible needs, delivery time is only perfectly 
manageable by Him.

When a need realization first dawns so does             
                            the course start that will bring it forth.
Extending impatient hands will not hasten
                           the accumulation of factors needed for
                           manifesting a blessing we are after.
Too many details can lessen blessings compared to what
                           our Flawless Crafter can entail.

Perfection is an intricate creation, many elements converge
to aid it that only Spirit is aware of.  Just the universe is
posed to spiritually know the truly ideal blend for the
ultimate, fulfilling send.

                             While the universe combines 
                          many ingredients for our answers, 
                          we, as an unaware factor, begin 
                          an ebb and flow in thoughts and 
                          feelings that grow us receptively
                          prepared for what, how and when
                                     the universe shares.

If we seek something earnestly, we will get it. But our time and God's time differ. God's time alone works... So even if we don't get something at the desired time, wait patiently. By extending impatient hands, we cannot hasten the delivery. A great reminder dear Cay Cay. Congratulations on your POTD

I'm not sure why, but this brought to mind a potter spinning clay on the wheel and his child sticking his thumbs into the forming clay to "hurry up the process". Great poem and congrats on POTD.

Congratulations CayCay on POTD, there are many emergent forces in the universe, and the one thing they all have in common is time, they cannot be sped up, they must run their course, which reminds me to buy an extra lotto ticket this week lol! Cheers David

Dear CayCay, Congratulations my friend on a poem that touches on one of the most persistent human struggles we ever face: our absolute obsession with controlling the clock. When we want something deeply, our instinct is to grip tighter, set artificial deadlines, and mistake our own anxiety for progress. We fall into the trap of believing that "extending impatient hands" somehow hurries life along, when in reality, urgency is often just fear wearing a productive mask. Excellent! Blessings, Daniel

Hi again! I really like how this is arranged and how you have expressed your faith. I can certainly imagine it to be true that there are "an accumulation of factors needed for / manifesting a blessing we are after". I also like your use of the word "ingredients". I'm looking forward to clicking on more of your poems! Terry

This is knowledge accrued over years, tears, fears and attending Unity where I learned truth principals. You are going through an accumulation of factors leading to your highest good. We all are. My poem was getting lonely and maybe pouting a bit so THANK YOU ... CayCay
