How will I know?

I cannot

No!

I cannot

I'm busy

I can't talk now

I have someone here

I'm eating breakfast

No!

I cannot

call you back

What do you want?!

Why, nothing

I'm sorry

I bothered you.

I cannot

call you another time.

Death outside

Death inside

Physical death

Spiritual death

What is death

... the cease of oxygen flow to the brain?

... the loss of another's friendship?

Is it futile

worthless

Should I bother

to seek out another

who, it seems

repeatedly says

you are bothering me

a bother

is it better to stop

calling

if the 'right' time

is not when I call.

How will I know

Will God tell me

when to call

when I won't be a bother

How will I know?

"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven;

A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 

A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;" (Ecclesiastes 3: 1, 5a, 7a NKJV))

How will I know?

Will God tell me

when to speak

when I won't be a bother?

Will He?
