This is a poem I wrote back in March of 2019, it was a time in my life in which I was being taught humility and patience, and did a lot of waiting on God.

It seemed apt to share today, as another delay to the lifting of restrictions can easily leave us feeling frustrated or unsure as to the part today plays in God’s grand plan for us.

I hope this poem blesses you, and encourages you to seek and trust God today, whatever situation you find yourself in, knowing that there are brighter days to come, whether on this earth or in eternity!

I won’t give up.
I won’t give in.
I won't let impatience drag me into sin.

I won’t back down.
Or try to skip ahead.
I won’t ignore what my father has said.

I won’t stop listening.
I won’t forget.
I won’t demand things I know I’m not ready for yet.

I won’t run.
I won’t hide.
I won’t question your ways.

For I know still to come is the brightest of days.

I will stand tall.
I’ll let my heart burn.
I’ll follow you down every twist, every turn.

I will let tears flow.
Of joy and of sorrow.
I’ll trust in your promise, for now and tomorrow.

I will let You
Fight this battle for me.
For you have won an everlasting victory.

I will worship my King.
I will cry out in praise.

For I know, still to come, is the brightest of days.
