Please forgive my impatience, Father.
It wasn't until just moments ago
I realized
why I am, where I am.
Actually, I still have yet to FULLY realize why
but I'm so thankful
for where I'm at right now.
If I wasn't sick
and currently held any type of leadership position
or a position of prominence
and was still as honest about how I feel
and see the world
I would get mobbed on social media
and more than likely I would be removed
from my position.
You know EXACTLY what You are doing!
I'm sorry for not having more faith.
But I tell You what, I do now
It's okay that I'm not standing at a podium
or driving a boat
because right here where I'm at
I can be as honest as I am
and not worry about being removed
from any position.
Nor is a spotlight or up front position
or a podium needed to lead.
If it is Your will
that I remain here
being a nobody in this world
that most people despise
because of my honesty spoken from my heart
about my prejudices
and dislikes in this world
that You may prove to the world:
...not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are......
then may Your will be done, Father.
And if it is Your will,
don't allow those who work against my calling
to have any success over me
that my purpose may be fulfilled :-)
I ask these things in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty,
Who was, and is, and is to come.
