PARADOXICAL

for years you pray hard for a favor
but you do not attain it
then at a snap without effort
just when you are about to lose hope
the Lord puts it on your lap

you ask for rain He gives you a storm
that will strengthen you for a coming battle
you ask for food He gives you hunger
that will cleanse you from your material ways
but when you ask for a leaf He gives you a forest

He gives more than you ask for
His ways are not your ways His time not your time
He is a mystery and you are blind to His wisdom
the way you see things is enclosed in time and space
beyond which are His limitless ways

I will pursue you like an eagle after prey
even as you flee relentlessly from Me
I want you with Me in My home
before the sun sets and darkness falls
before your sunrise will no longer come
for you are precious to Me and My Father

**
I will send My justice
like soft rain from the sky
to quench the parched earth
and bring salvation to all

isaiah 45:8 [x843]

**
aanhin mo ang palasyong tinayo ng kalakal
kung gigibain naman ang iyong tahanan
aanhin mo ang hanga ng madla
kung sisirain naman ang iyong kalooban

umigib ka ng isang tabo kung uhaw
wag isang tangkeng ikaw ay lulunurin
pumitas ka ng isang saging kung gutom
wag isang kaing na mabubulok

bakit ka magbabasa sa dilim
kung malapit na ang umaga
bakit mo itatago ang ulam
kung mayroon pang kakain

unawain na ikaw at ang iba
at ang mundo ay iisa
at kailangang makipag-ugnayan
nang matamo ang kabuuan
