Tardy.

the right thing, at the wrong time...is still the wrong thing. not only must i work on the motivation behind my actions, i need to work on the timing of it as well. too much haste, it may cause hurt. too slow, a blessed opportunity forgone.

when God asks us to do something, and we put it off till later...it's a sin. delayed obedience...is disobedience. i must learn and discern between Godly timing and manly timing. inactivity may sometimes be the best activity.

alas, i must wait. 730.


Belated in action
Retarded in thought
Self-seeking means
Were all that I sought

I thought I could do it
All on my own
Have the cake and eat it
But then I was shown

Sometimes it's better
To not eat at all
Counting the cost
As my frozen heart thaws

Still a long ways
From attaining that joy
One day I'll grow up
No longer a boy

I'm learning to breathe
A breath that's anew
No more wrong-doing
No viewpoints skewed

Though belated in action
Still retarded in thought
But am becoming the man
His atoning blood bought
