Impatience
Proverbs 29:9
9 If a wise person goes to court with a foolish person,
there is no peace whether he is angry or laughs.
Impatience: taking self to court
You are sitting on my shoulder watching the world go by
You are dreaming of yesterday and what things ought to be
Every day you are growing bolder and I wonder why
In getting older you should contemplate to go and set me free
You have great expectations of everyone except self
You judge about everything like you own it all
You lead me to frustration digging a wishing well
It seems that I never win while you have a ball
Experience will help me to really conquer you
Give me back my duffle bag ... I’m going in a circle
What can release me ... is it living for the truth?
That only Christ will sway if obedience removes the hurdle
Jan Wienen
