Sometime

Sometime, when all life's lessons have been learned,
And sun and stars forevermore have set,
The things which our weak judgements here have spurned,
The things o'er which we grieved with lashes wet,
Will flash before us out of life's dark night,
As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue;
And we shall see how God's plans are right
And how what seemed reproof was love most true.
Then be content poor heart;
God's plans, like lilies pure and white, unfold;
we must not tear the close-shut leaves apart, ---
Time will reveal the chalices of gold.
And if, through patient toil, we reach the land
Where tired feet, with sandals lossed, may rest,
When we shall clearly see and understand,
I think that we will say, "God knew the best!"

----Sometime, by May Riley Smith.

Dear God, Your wisdon and understanding surpasses all things below the heavens. I'm placing my life's calendar at Your feet and allowing You to handle the scheduling of my relationships. I will have patience and cherish Your gift of singleness as a gift to devote myself to pleasing You. I'll live my todays for Your kingdom and entrust my tomorrows to Your providence. I trust in Your good and loving will. Bless me with a passion to seek and please You. Thank You, Lord. Because I pray this in Jesus' most Precious ans Sweetest Name. Amen.

P.S: I'm currently reading "I kissed dating goodbye by Joshua Harris."
