We’re all eager to get paid. But in our job, we work all day, but never expect our pay to come in every hour–or even every week. We keep working, though. We keep working because we know our pay is being saved up for payday–at the end of the month. Imagine if a worker came in each day and expected to get paid at the end of that day. What would happen when he wasn’t paid? He’d probably get impatient and quit. This is exactly how we work for God. We work, but we want our pay, we want our results, *now*! This is why we get tired, impatient, and quit. We have forgotten… it isn’t payday yet. - yasmin mogahed
It Isn’t Payday…
كنت قلبي
how did you find
your way
into this heart?
I thought
I had it guarded
so well
but you slipped
through the holes
no one else
saw
I thought I was
impenetrable
but now you’re in here
I guess
I’m not as cold
as we both once thought
Never say “I don’t have time to do this” because what you really mean is “I don’t care enough about ‘this’ to make time for it.
