Desires

His imagination
     is vast
        incredible
        incomprehensible.

He makes
     magnificent things
        and turns drab
                      dirty
                      filth
                into beauty.

He knows me –
   even when I don’t fully
     know myself.

And He wants to give me
   good things –
     even when I don’t understand why
                            or deserve them.

His plans
   are so much bigger
     than anything
          I could create
                 or realize.

He fulfills deep desires
   with brilliant outcomes
               that are better
                  than imaginable.

Maybe He will fulfill mine,
     even if I’m not fully clear
           on what they all are
                     yet.

I desperately
   want to believe
          He will.

Trust in the LORD and do good;
    dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Delight yourself in the LORD
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD;
    trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
    the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
Be still before the LORD
    and wait patiently for him…
For the LORD loves the just
    and will not forsake his faithful ones.
           – Psalm 37:3-7a, 28 (NIV95)
