He is in the waiting…
I had a dream about a month ago I feel was sent to me from God. In the dream, the chorus from the song “Take Courage ” which sings ‘He’s in the waiting, He’s in the waiting’, kept repeating, and as this verse was repeating, a single, very full white daisy filled the vision.
He’s in the waiting, He’s in the waiting
When I woke, I wrote my impressions of the dream in my notebook next to my bed. Later, I looked up the meaning and symbolism for white daisy. My eyes traveled down the page as if directed and stopped on this:
Daisy’s are composite flowers, meaning they actually consist of two flowers combined into one. The inner section is called a disc floret, and the outer petal section is called a ray floret. Because daisies are composed of two flowers that blend together so well, they symbolize true love.
In my heart I feel God is showing me as I rest in Him and wait, resisting all temptations to rush out ahead of Him as I have in the past, I will enter into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him. He is in the waiting. He is fully present with me and for me in the waiting.
I have experienced Him in the last several days holding my hand with our fingers entwined, the way two lovers do. No longer holding my hand as a father and child, hands cupped together, His in the leading position.
I see Him lying face to face next to me. His eyes on me with love and compassion. I breath in deeply and feel all the love He has for me.
There are moments as I am in the waiting, I feel Him reach over and gently brush my cheek with the back of his fingers. In these moments I feel seen, understood, and deeply loved for who I am.
I feel He is showing me the daisy as a promise of true love. Two becoming one flesh. I am not certain if the promise is to say He has prepared a very special man for me, a true love, or the promise is the fulfillment of His true love for me being complete and fulfilled through this season of waiting.
Either way, I trust Him and know something amazing is taking place in my heart and soul.
Below are the lyrics to the song “Take Courage“.
Take Courage
Songwriters: Kristene DiMarco / Jeremy Riddle
Slow down, take time
Breath in He said
He’d reveal what’s to come
The thoughts in His mind
Always higher than mine
He’ll reveal all to come
Take courage my heart
Stay steadfast my soul
He’s in the waiting, He’s in the waiting
Hold onto your hope
As your triumph unfolds
He’s never failing, He’s never failing
Sing praise my soul
Find strength in joy
Let His Words lead you on
Do not forget His great faithfulness
He’ll finish all He’s begun
So take courage my heart
Stay steadfast my soul
He’s in the waiting, He’s in the waiting
And You who hold the stars
Who call them each by name
Will surely keep, Your promise to me
That I will rise, in Your victory!
So take courage my heart
Stay steadfast my soul
He’s in the waiting, He’s in the waiting
And hold onto your hope
Watch your triumph unfold
He’s never failing, He’s never failing
So take courage my heart
Stay steadfast my soul
He’s in the waiting
He’s in the waiting
And hold onto your hope
Watch your triumph unfold
He’s never failing, He’s never failing!
