Long haul
The bridegroom was delayed….
—Matthew 25.5
I will vote today,
but nothing will change yet.
The bridegroom of justice
will not come tomorrow or next year
or possibly in my lifetime.
We are fighting for our grandchildren.
The lamps of quick results will go out soon.
Think of those of old who did not give up
for our sake, not their own.
We stock up on the oil of patience,
endurance and persistence.
The Spirit flowing through us
is the oil for the long haul.
