The darkness comes at night.

But for some it comes during the day as well.

It is a scary thought.

Not having a place you can hide,

Or knowing you can never outrun it.

It follows like a shadow.

Always there, waiting.

Never knowing when it will pop out and say 'hi'.

Sometimes life seems to good to be true,

And then it feels like it's all about the waiting;

Waiting for that job.

Waiting for that significant other.

Waiting for someone to say something first.

Waiting to feel like life has finally begun.

Just waiting.

But then again;

Waiting on God's timing.

Waiting on God's perfect plan.

Waiting on God's will.

God is also waiting;

Waiting for His children to surrender.

Waiting for them to choose to love Him.

Waiting with open arms every time we run away.

Waiting with understanding and compassion.

In my darkest hour He waits.

In my happiest, He celebrates.

I wait for patience to come.

I wait for the day that I finally learn the lesson;

That waiting on God,

Is the best choice I could ever make.
