Are you waiting for a promise from HIM???? I understand, I am too.

A Sacrifice.....
.

A sacrifice is to give up something
that you want
for someone else's desire.

A sacrifice is a love
that goes deep
from with in.

A sacrifice is a LAMB
being led to IT's death
for all.

A sacrifice is a heart
given completely over
to one's CREATOR's hand
to say that you love HIM
enough for HIM to take it.

A sacrifice is to wait
and wait
and wait.....
and wait til
you think you have hit an end.

You can not handle waiting any longer.
you cry and wail
and you think why????
Why do I have to wait,
why not NOW?
You are at your wits end...........
But then you remember HIS promise,
and you wait again.

But you come to a final closure....
when your waiting turns into
a time of getting to know that HE WILL
DO AS HE SAID!

No worries are there anymore,
you just know!!!
Waiting,
seems a pleasure,
a connentment......a sacrifice.
Freely given,
for it is then you realize
that it has become
a time of saying ,
"When YOU desire to give me,
as YOU promised, and
as YOU have reminded me
so often,
that it will come........
I wait, with a smile,joy and praise."

A sacrifice of my circummised heart.
