99 Cent Mango
Every week I buy a 99 cent mango from the store and wait for it to become ripe enough to eat
It tests my patience as I wait to taste it
And patience like time can be cruel and straining
And I'm growing tired of watching and waiting
Patience is birthed from expectation
As we endure for something greater to arrive
For all I have come to know I am beginning to see
Patience is confidence that is ready
And willing to continue through the pain and unknown
In patience we are purified
Slowed down to see with clear eyes
As our selfishness and desperation is refocused
Handing us perspective and understanding in return
Our appreciation grows with our longing
Like Christmas or following a losing sports team
And it is in seasons of patience I watch God work
There is magic in His movement and grace in His giving and most days
I forget I'm living between the two
Like I forget patience isn't a painful punishment but the way to much more
To something so sweet
So delightful
So rich
Like a 99 cent mango
It tests my patience as I wait to taste it
And patience like time can be cruel and straining
And I'm growing tired of watching and waiting
Patience is birthed from expectation
As we endure for something greater to arrive
For all I have come to know I am beginning to see
Patience is confidence that is ready
And willing to continue through the pain and unknown
In patience we are purified
Slowed down to see with clear eyes
As our selfishness and desperation is refocused
Handing us perspective and understanding in return
Our appreciation grows with our longing
Like Christmas or following a losing sports team
And it is in seasons of patience I watch God work
There is magic in His movement and grace in His giving and most days
I forget I'm living between the two
Like I forget patience isn't a painful punishment but the way to much more
To something so sweet
So delightful
So rich
Like a 99 cent mango
