Father, You give and take away every joy and every pain. Through it all You will remain.

Kapag mahal mo, bibitawan mo. Bibigay mo kay Lord yan.

I won't

If you only knew
how much I want to
touch you
look at you

If you only knew
how much I want to
spend so much time
learning you

If you only knew
how much
your words affect me
your actions fazed me

If you only knew
how your arms make me
wonder how safe whoever
she may be

If you only knew
how I cherish you talk
how your voice cracks
and lights up everyone

If you only knew
you're a yes and amen
If you only knew
but you won't

I won't let you know
because there's still
so much room for you
so much that's stored for you

I won't let you know
because you must still face
your priorities and some
things you have to be healed

But please bear in mind
You are a prized possession
God won you and made you
A champion, a conqueror

Go live out you calling warrior,
I wanna see you shine the light
God has promised inside of you
Illuminate it dear, don't hold back

Please bear in mind that
There's a lot out there
Who needs your presence
your authority, your leadership

So I won't let you know
I won't let you know
Until then, still,
You will never know

Last night I dreamt
It was a familiar picture
Under that table
Wore THE black sweater

Two hands beneath
Two souls ignited
Two counts were enough
Two heartbeats kept

You are good, always.

"...the beauty of genuinely waiting is found in the process of revealing more of our character and focusing us not on the blessing but on our faithful Savior. Waiting is a place where we find total rest and joy. It is a place where grace meets us to the point of our need. That whatever we are praying for, whatever we are lacking, Jesus says I am and I will." - Paula Salvosa

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you,and lead me along the path of everlasting life. (Psalm 139:23-24, NLT)
