I waited
Have you ever waited for something so long that you started to believe it wasn’t going to happen? Or perhaps, you gave up because it didn’t turn out how you dreamed it would? You were that small child that sat in the corner of the window waiting for your mom or dad that promised they were coming and never showed up. Your business partner double crossed you and signed the contract without you while you were getting trained. You were waiting to have a child because you were not married and now you are married, and the doctor said it is too late. Or you lost your only child to murder, and you feel hopeless because you have buried them and your dreams. That marriage ended, and you fasted, prayed, and waited and it did not end the way you dreamed it. Now you have just settled with other men perhaps, like the woman at the well. God wants you to know it is not too late. He is waiting for you like he did the woman at the well.
He wants to address your issue. He wants to bring you into a new place of revelation to change your reality and allow the revelation to become greater to forever change your perspective. He wants to reveal himself to you like he did with the woman at the well. Jesus first asked her for a drink and then tells her if she knew who he was, she would have asked him for a drink. He let her know if she drank from this well, she would never thirst again. Listen to her respond to him.
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
The well he digs on the inside of you in worship will allow others to drink from you like Jesus did at the well and it will quench your thirst. God does not want you to be thirsty. He is offering you a drink. He is sending the one that has your drink, and you will never thirst again.
I waited.
I waited 6 years,
And Overcame my fears,
I waited like Jack did at the clock,
Like Jesus did when he left his flock,
Waiting for the one.
To return,
While I yearn,
Make it count for the Son.
The difference is our ship won’t sink,
and I don’t care what they think,
I waited.
like Jesus did at the well for a drink .
So You will never again thirst,
He sent me 6 years ahead first,
So I could teach you that sometimes dreams die and bubbles burst.
But don’t cry,
Dry your eyes,
Look to the skies,
Where your help comes from,
Because he saved us a seat not just a crumb.
I waited
He sent me 6 years ahead of you in time
So I could learn how to run and not fall,
So I could cover you until you learned to crawl.
I waited,
Placated,
with the promise of your love,
Thinking of,
how deeply you will drink from my well,
From the story we will tell,
How he sent me 6 years ahead first,
So you could see,
when you searched for me,
You would make it through better and for worse.
He made me wait,
But wasn’t late,
So you would recognize,
Not by surprise,
The love
We shared in eternity,
To infinity.
We chose then,
That we would always win.
He made me wait 6 years for you,
until you could believe our love is true.
So I like Jesus could prepare a path,
So you would know my humor and laugh,
Like Sarah did,
When God told them they would have a kid.
I waited
For our promise to live happily ever after
Now our joy is coming in the morning
And
we will live forever in his laughter.
