Me: Sometimes we don’t know and have to be told.

Prodigal: Yes, because we don’t understand how good the Lord can be.

This is from Nancy Spiegelberg and Dorothy Purdy, Fanfare: A Celebration of Belief

If I Had Only Known You

Lord, I crawled across the barrenness

to You

with my empty cup

uncertain

in asking

any small drop

of refreshment.

If only

I had known You

better

I’d have come

Running

With a bucket.

Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day: Job 3:9 (KJV)
