Prophesied

I asked for a sign
Even though I saw Your work.
I tried looking deeper
Though I couldn't even see the surface.
I asked for a sign
And you sent someone with a message.
I tried to read into it
Though it was more than literal.
I couldn't hear you speak to me
And I still can't.
But I know I see you everywhere
In my life
In this world.
I see Your clarity where others stand blinded.
I see Your presence where others stand alone.
I see Your mercy when others stand at the end of their rope.
Lord I see You
Full of grace
The sign you give to us all
Is love.
So why did I not see?
Why did I not hear You?
Why do we ask for miracles
And acts that will amaze us
When you show us each day?
We expect life.
We demand happiness.
All with little to no praise.
All with no trust in Your promise.
We seek our own dreams
Instead of seeking to live out Your plan.
Maybe it is that I cannot hear You
Because there is too much of me...
Lord take it away and live through me.
So I can be in tune with Your word
Visually.
Audibly.
With all of me.
