Frustration
If I had a shiny gun,
I could have a world of fun
Speeding bullets through the brains
Of the folk who give me pains;
Or had I some poison gas,
I could make the moments pass
Bumping off a number of
People whom I do not love.
But I have no lethal weapon-
Thus does Fate our pleasure step on!
So they still are quick and well
Who should be, by rights, in hell.
God's persistence isn't a dogged repetition of duty.
it has all the surprise and creativity, as well as
all the certainty and regularity of a new day.
Sunrise when the spontaneous and the certain
arrive at the same time.
Do we ever get used to daybreak?. Never.
Daybreak is always a surprise.
There are times, of course, when we fail to respond to it.
But when that happens, we instinctively know that it's due
to a deficiency within ourselves, not in nature. If the
repetitions in nature are never boring, how much less
the repetitions of God?
And with the sunrise came a dawn of understanding in
Jeremiah that shed light on the darkness surrounding him.
