How long?

How long do you desire me to wait?
You made your desire clear, that you wanted me in your life, yet still you turn away.
You speak to me often of the love you have, yet still you stand looking in from afar.
Matt. 7:7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you.
The doors are thrown open. Here I am with my arms spread wide, waiting, wanting for you to come, yet you don't come.
I hear you talking to one another, yet still you don't approach me. Am I as a viper, readied to strike, injecting venom?
No! I am Love. And I long to share my love with you, but you hold me back at arms length as though I am a leper.
I offer you living water, that you never need thirst. Yet still you hunger after your worldly desires. Striving after your empty unfulfilling dreams, chasing after your almighty dollar with every beat of your unfeeling heart, holding court like you are some kind of worldly king, but alas your kingdom shall crumble.
Yet still my beloved I long to show you love, to heal your sickness, to lift you up, to fulfill your desires, to quench your thirst, to make you whole.
I AM WHO I AM.
I am the only way.
I am your only hope.
So again my beloved I ask, how long do you desire me to wait?
John 14:6 Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
