Enduring

Be mindful of these
Emotions wage war inside
Acorns know not of the trees
Unfolding great oaks promised
To honor He who waters and feeds
Indeed instructions given
Follow Him in whom He is well pleased
Utterance and groan not understood
Life is renewed with burning of leaves

I reach, I call, I cry, I strain
Stillness and rest by grace bestowed

Hoping, hurting, healing, having
Enduring all for the sake of His Name.
