WAITING FOR INSPIRATION

by: Ken Biddington, March 2017

Sitting in front of my computer, wondering what to write;

The mind is busy, thoughts are moving in the mind, but I can’t seem to make sense of it all.

Inspiration doesn’t come that easy, you just can’t turn it on when you want.

What should I write about? My life, my fears, my joys, sorrows, trials or blessings?

It’s hard to stop, think and compose in a world that demands your time and talent.

Sometimes I would like my soul to have a pen because it wouldn’t be hard for it to find the words.

My mind, heart, spirit and soul should get together more often for a cup of coffee

So that they could understand each other and know where they should be heading.

If I try to gather strength from within, I find myself building my fortress with toothpicks.

They are useful, but just for a moment and it takes a lot of it to give me the impression of security.

So then, where can I find solace and strength?  It has to come from without, from someone stronger.

From someone who understands me in all my weakness and frailties.

The only True Spirit can meet the need.  Having been redeemed by the Sent One,

I’m now forgiven and blessed; sealed with the Spirit of God and called His son.

He not only teaches me and guides me, but whispers words in my spirit to comfort me.

And even, he intercedes for me before the throne of God on my behalf when words are few.

Jesus is rejected in this world, meanwhile, he gives life, light, and peace to those who call upon His Name.

He calms the soul when the storm rages on.  He gives direction to the heart when it doesn’t know where to go.

His Spirit speaks to mine and gives the words necessary for my mind to make sense in this world.

True inspiration comes from Him who breathe life into man, sit with him and he’ll give you the words.
