Sometimes we human's "carelessly" think that the Lord God is at "our"
beck and call, a sad mistake. He is the ALMIGHTY GOD WHO, knows
that we are but dust and is merciful to us. There are times that He does
hide from us to check to see how much we LOVE HIM, NEED HIM, as
we most certainly do!
STILL NO ANSWER
I cried and cried until I had no more tears left
but,
still no answer.
I waited patiently and prayed I thought
but,
still no answer.
I pressed in on my knees to HIM and didn’t give up
but,
still no answer.
I thought YOU wanted me
but,
still no answer.
I begged and pleaded please help me
but,
still no answer.
I asked for a touch and for YOUR presence
but,
still no answer.
Lord, are YOU hiding from me again
but,
still no answer.
I not giving up but, I will quiet myself
but,
still no answer.
Then out of my own spirit I hear YOU say,
“I’ve been here all the time, from the first moment
I heard your heart cry out to ME, I’ve been here.
Sometimes child, I have to wait for you to quiet down
and listen for MY “Still Small Voice”, but you see, you
heard ME when “you” were still, I have answered.
