There is power in patience.
Rivers are my witness:
The Colorado,
for six million years,
carves the Grand Canyon.
Here at home,
in NC and TN,
the French Broad
slices through the Appalachians,
for 300 million years,
smoothing, nourishing the landscape.
Yes, God often comes
as lightening or quake,
but more often, most often,
with a river's patience,
with a river's persistence,
wearing down our barriers,
flooding our hearts
with his presence and love.
There's power in his patience.
