Virtue Made Whole
One moment can change your life,
One step that begins the journey.
Seek the Lord and wait for Him,
But let your waiting be not still,
Lest He pass you by again.
Await Him in the moment,
The
action,
The breathtaking power of virtue
made whole.
I sought the Lord in earnest hope,
Yearning to be remade,
Never understanding that I would
have to move
So
He could move through me.
I asked that I might love like Him,
To burn with passion and outreaching
zeal,
And this the Lord has answered me:
To begin with the love I have,
Though pitiful and small,
For only in loving can love be made
whole.
I asked that I might have joy like
His,
The dancing delight of the Ancient
of Days,
And this the Lord has answered me:
To begin with the joy I have,
Though weary and oft-distracted,
For only in rejoicing can joy be
made whole.
I asked that I might have confidence
in Him,
Enough to move mountains with my
faith,
And this the Lord has answered me:
To begin with the faith I have,
Though weak and often shattered,
For only in believing can faith be
made whole.
To wait for the Lord is to run after
Him,
Passionately,
Joyously,
And
in utter confidence,
For He is near to those who seek
Him.
Take this moment, my friend,
And step out in the direction of your
prayers,
And the Lord will meet you on the
tossing wave
And make you the instrument of
answered prayer.
