AGAIN, WHY ME?

I JUST WANT TO RUN AWAY
AND HIDE IN THE SHADOW
AND COMFORT OF YOUR LOVING WINGS,
MY SWEET JESUS,
LIKE, TODAY, RIGHT THIS SECOND.
PRETTY PLEASE.
YOU SEE, I MUST CONFESS, I AM AFRAID
OF WHAT YOU ARE ASKING OF ME.
IT SEEMS A LITTLE INSANE.
CAN'T YOU PICK SOMEONE ELSE?
WHY ME?
DON'T YOU REMEMBER WHAT THEY CALLED ME?
HOW CAN I GET OVER IT?
I AM THE LEAST OF THE LEAST,
THE WEAKEST OF THE WEAK.
WHAT YOU ARE ASKING OF ME
SEEMS LIKE AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM.
YES, I WANT TO DO IT.
I'M EXCITED AT THE THOUGHT.
BUT, REALLY,
WHY ME?
I CAN BARELY WALK OR SIT OR STAND,
AND THAT UGLY THING
MIGHT AS WELL BE TATTOOED ON MY HEART.
WAIT, I THINK IT IS.
BUT SO IS YOUR WORD,
AND YOU CALL ME BEAUTIFUL
AND THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE
AND YOUR DAUGHTER.
SO THAT MAKES ME A PRINCESS TWICE OVER.
O, DID I FORGET TO MENTION
MY ANCESTOR WAS THE FIRST KING OF SCOTLAND?
YES, I THINK I HAVE.
BUT I BELIEVE THAT FACT IS WORTH REPEATING,
AS IS THE FACT THAT I AM A DAUGHTER
OF THE MOST HIGH KING.
SO I WILL GLORY IN MY SUFFERINGS,
RAISING MY HANDS HIGH IN SUPPLICATION,
NEVER ASHAMED TO SAY YOUR NAME.
AND THANK YOU, MY SWEET JESUS,
FOR HEALING ME ENOUGH
TO DANCE LIKE DAVID DID.
AGAIN,
NOT ASHAMED.
AND TO QUOTE MYSELF,
"HOLD ON 'CUZ IT'S GONNA BE A BUMPY RIDE."
BE CAREFUL
WHAT YOU PRAY FOR.
IT JUST MIGHT HAPPEN
IN GOD'S TIMING.
BUT WHEN IT SEEMS AS IF IT IS TAKING FOREVER
FOR YOUR PARTICULAR PRAYER TO BE ANSWERED,
WHEN IT HAPPENS, WHEN YOUR PRAYER
IS ANSWERED, IT'S A LITTLE SCARY
BECAUSE YOU JUST MIGHT FEEL AS IF
YOU ARE ON THAT ROCKING BOAT
WITH PETER OR JOHN
AND ASKED BY JESUS TO STEP OUT OF THAT BOAT
AND WALK ON THE STORMY SEA.
REALLY, MY SWEET JESUS?
AGAIN,
WHY ME?

2 CORINTHIANS 12:9 - BUT HE SAID TO ME, "MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU, FOR MY POWER IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS." THERERFORE I WILL BOAST ALL THE MORE GLADLY ABOUT MY WEAKNESSES, SO THAT CHRIST'S POWER MAY REST ON ME.
