Waiting.

Are you waiting?
I know we wait for things all the time. I don't mean waiting for lunch, waiting in line, waiting for someone to get home from work, waiting for it to be time for something, etc.
I mean waiting for God.

Are you waiting for his direction? Or maybe you're waiting for his answer. Or his intervention.
Maybe you're waiting for him to work in your family or your marriage.
Or for him to just do something.
Maybe you're waiting for healing.

Well that's good. Keep waiting :)

God's timing is perfect. He knows the plan he has for us (Jeremiah 29:11) and he knows how this is all going to turn out.

Waiting is hard. Trust me, I know.
It's hard because in our eyes and from what we can know and understand, it feels like it's been forever, right?
Because we only see the now. We don't see the future like God does.
There's a quote I really like and I don't know who it's from, but it says,
"We don't need to know what the future holds, we just need to know Who holds the future."

Love that. So true.

Here's something about waiting that I realized the other day. Actually a week and two days ago if you want to be exact.

We show love to God by waiting on him.
Just by waiting and trusting him.

1 Corinthians 13 says "Love is patient, love is kind.." etc. You probably know that verse.

Love is patient!

The Bible says that God works everything together for the good of those who love him. (Romans 8:28)

So I know that waiting is sometimes frustrating and hard.
But I just want to encourage you to love God with your patience.
He is the God who holds the future, and the God who holds time itself.
He's perfect.
Trust him with all of your heart,
it will be so worth it!!

You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength. (Philippians 4:13).

Remember, if God was small enough for us to understand, he wouldn't be big enough to handle our problems.
This is not forever!


Love,
Someone who is waiting too.
