And this
Is what the Lord
Has promised to reveal
To all
Who seek
To do the same.
To all
Who seek to feed
The needs of others first,
Instead of staying focused
On their own needs first,
Or on the things
They think they need
Or must attain.Philippians 2:1-4
So is a plate
Full of patience,
Printed on the menu?
Yet it seems like
You only have
A mustard seed of patience
Abiding in you?
If so,
Then don't wait
Until you think you have
Enough to fill the order.
And don't wait
Until it feels like
Your faith and love
Are growing stronger.
Because it's never been about
How much the waiter
Has to have.
But rather,
It has always been about
How much his Master
Always has.
He,
Who from eternity,
Has always had
An infinite amount
And yet He often
Only gives us
Just a very small amount
To test us,
To see if we will still seek
To feed the needs
Of others first,
Even when it seems like,
There is not enough
For everyone
Who sits at every table.
"Increase my faith"
Is a prayer
We've often heard or said.
