Share a secret with me, and it stays with me. Only me.
Well, at least most of the time. I'll admit I have my occasional slip-ups.
But, I've got a friend who never slips. Never reveals a secret. At least not until the time is right. Perfect, actually.
Until then, His lips are sealed.
If He chose to slip up at least once in a while, I believe I'd be okay with that.
Maybe!
Indeed, He reveals what He determines I need to know.
When He determines I need to know it is another story entirely.
On the one hand, His secret-keeping determination can potentially drive me bananas. So much so, that I've found myself dropping to my knees, praying - begging, even - 'Dear Jesus', for Heaven's sake, please share the secret.' And, 'Why must I wait for an answer?'
On the other hand, perhaps that's His 'divine plan.' His 'angle.' The 'big picture.'
He wants me on my knees. He wants me in sweet communion with Him. And, He wants me to recognize that He's my Heavenly Father who is there for me all the time, anytime, and every time.
I'm certain He won't keep me in the dark forever.
His will is perfect. His plan is perfect. And, His timing is perfect.
I trust Him.
In His time.
In His time.
He makes all things beautiful, in His time.
Lord, please show me everyday.
As you're teaching me your way.
That you do just what you say.
In your time.
