Something Great

This is from a card that I recieved during my last clinical rotation, on the OB floor at Saint Johns. Myself and another student were able to sit in on a childbirth class, and the nurse educator handed these cards out to the expectant parents, and gave one to us, too. I thought it was pretty cool, and I don't think I could have said this any better than it reads on the card: 

When God wants something great
done in this world,
He doesn't dispatch
a legion of avenging angels:

Neither does He call forth a whirlwind
Nor ignite the fuse of volcanic fireworks:

No commandeering of troops into battle
No discharging zealous crusaders to holy causes:

He does not orchestrate the burst and boom of thunder
Nor display His fiery arrows
Nor majesty across the sky to bring His purpose to pass.

When God wants something great done in this world...




He sends a baby and then...He waits.
