~ Unopened Blessings ~

I wonder how many packages
are waiting for me
in Heaven...
Those that God has sent to me
But I have left
unopened!



All the many times I've prayed
for answers I have
needed...
I think that God's not heard my cries
and they have gone
unheeded!



How many times have answers been
right before
my eyes
Unseen by sight then clouded by
the sound of my own
cries!



When we cling too firmly
to the problem
in itself
We can miss the answers
They're set back on
the shelf!



They are ours regardless
They're stamped with our
own name
But they don't do us any good
When we refuse
to claim!



All the unopened blessings
sent by God's
own hand
He knows what we are going through
He always
understands!



He waits to let us help ourselves
Stand up on our own
two feet
These are lessons to be learned
Our journey
to complete!



Then there's times he says 'Okay'
and gives
a little shove
He sends us helpfull blessings
Because of his
great love!



Because of crisis, we may ask
our pleas are
offered up
By faith we must expect results
and looking for
God's cup!



He is just and faithful
answering as we do
believe
It's up to us to be prepared
Making ready to
receive!



So, next time you find yourself
feeling all alone
and stressing
Remember answers sent by God
Don't leave unopened
blessings!
