Unopened Blessings

I wonder how many packages
are waiting for me in Heaven...
Those that God has sent to me
But I have left unopened!


All the many times I've prayed
for answers I have needed...
I think that God's not heard my cries
and they have gone unheeded!


How many times have answers been
right before my eyes
Unseen by sight then clouded by
the sound of my own cries!


When we cling too firmly
to the problem in itself
We can miss the answers
They're set back on the shelf!


They are ours regardless
They're stamped with our own name
But they don't do us any good
When we refuse to claim!


All the unopened blessings
sent by God's own hand
He knows what we are going through
He always understands!


He waits to let us help ourselves
Stand up on our own two feet
These are lessons to be learned
Our journey to complete!


Then there's times he says 'Okay'
and gives a little shove
He sends us helpfull blessings
Because of his great love!


Because of crisis, we may ask
our pleas are offered up
By faith we must expect results
and looking for God's cup!


He is just and faithful
answering as we do believe
It's up to us to be prepared
Making ready to receive!


So, next time you find yourself
feeling all alone and stressing
Remember answers sent by God
Don't leave unopened blessings!
