Waiting
I hate waiting. Hate it. I say this to say that what I absolutely despise is teaching me the most. Jesus is working. I’m just seeing the fruit. I have to wonder if I’ve stopped putting conditions on Him. Waiting has been painful, but so fruitful. I never thought I’d type those words. I’ve spent years angry with God, with myself. The anger left me empty. This morning some of those old feelings crept up, but I got in the shower and put on worship music. I had a date with Jesus today. Someone mentioned I had a pure heart. I appreciate the kind compliment. Sometimes my heart isn’t so pure. I just don’t let people see it. God sees it.
I’m a constant work in progress. I always will be. Perfection is not the aim. I’m just a sinner saved by a grace I can’t comprehend. Some days it feels as if the world passes me by as I’m forced to rest. Then I remember, my life is good. I can’t rush God or myself. The time has to be just right for my dreams to become a reality. And only God Himself can do that. So as I rest, live life with joy and aplomb.
Love you all

ReplyDeleteWhat a well written and thought provoking writing. No one is perfect, we can only do our best, and overcome our inadequacies with His help. Here in Portugal, we are a nation of laid back people.used to waiting, as way of life. It's just no use getting annoyed or frustrated if the plumber says I'll be there amanha to fix your tap, but you already know that it's not gong to happen. Amanha is a bit of a joke in my country

Waiting is a process sending us from God. Thanks for it we can enjoy some things much more cause we know that we have to wait for them. Great post dear
ReplyDeleteI hate waiting too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a deep truth there Regine - we are all works in progress, no matter how long we have been walking with Jesus.
ReplyDeleteLast night I also needed a 'date with Jesus' to sort out myself and leave my pity party
