One of my sisters forwarded this to me tonight. My mom (deceased since 1998) had sent it to comfort her many years ago. Perfect! Words straight from heaven and mom.
Sit still, my daughter! Just sit quietly still!
Nor deem these days---these waiting days---as ill!
The One who loves thee best, who plans thy way,
Hath not forgotten thy great need today!
And, if He waits, 'tis sure He waits to prove
To thee, His tender Child, His heart's deep love.
Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still!
Thou longest much to know thy dear Lord's will!
While anxious thoughts would almost steal their way
Corrodingly within, because of his delay---
Persuade thyself in simple faith to rest
That He, who knows and loves, will do the best.
Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still!
Nor move one step, not even one, until
His way hath opened. Then, ah then, how sweet!
-J.Danson Smith-
