Not me, but the GOD in me

When will you see that what you see ain't me, but the God in me,
That I am able to do all things because He strengthens me?

I'm just a mere pawn on His colossal chessboard,
Day in, day out living to glorify my Lord.

He takes my imperfections and flaws and uses them to perfect His strength.
When I'm too frail, "whew" He blows in His Holy breath.

I'm not the female version of a hustler, but His DIVA;
Inspired by His Divinity, Victorious in all things because of His Anointing.

All of this didn't just fall from the sky,
It didn't land here overnight in the blink of an eye.

It took time, love, patience, and most of all, GRACE,
Wouldn't be where I'm at if I was walking at my own pace.

His blessings shouldn't end with me like a no-through road,
He's the source and I am the channel, the channel through which they should flow.

So when you see the spring in my step, the twinkle in my eye,
Remember: It ain't me, but the God in me.

God asleep on the job???

If GOD is GOOD. And GOOD things come to those wait. And all GOOD things come from God, WHY do people like settling for the not-so-good that clearly doesn't come from God?

Why are people in rush to get what takes time to perfect? Patience is a virtue. The Bible talks about those who WAIT ON THE LORD lacking NO GOOD thing. It doesn't say you will lack no thing but NO GOOD THING.

When God created the Earth, He WAITED until the 6th day to create man. Man is not only good, but PERFECT (created in His image) but also flawed. But even with all of man's flaws, man is still GOOD in God's eyes.

Just because you don't yet see the physical manifestations of what you've asked God for doesn't mean He has fallen asleep on the job. It probably just means He is taking what you asked for from okay to GOOD and pleasing to Him.

"How long you're willing to wait for something determines the value of what you're waiting for."
