Waiting

Today God is telling me so many things,  I can't help but write another post.

Waiting!!! Every knows I hate waiting.  I usually sit still for five minutes,  fidget for the next five and then that is it! I'm done!

Some years ago, I gave up on dating and decided to wait on God's perfect gift. (So this is how I waited,  I will go to God every morning and whine and nag about how he has forgotten about me). But well, I still waited.  I waited from ending 2010 till May 2012 when I finally met B.

Since then, I have become more of a waiter.  I have to wait and trust completely in God. I have learnt to lean on His sure word.  I have learnt not to look at time. I have learnt to honour my wait, to respect it, to let the pain of waiting draw me closer to God, to just enjoy the beauty of waiting.

Waiting is hard but at the end we learn a lot. We learn to rest on the potter's wheel whilst He moulds us in His perfect time.

Without waiting,  I wouldn't have matured.  I wouldn't have known I would find peace and joy in the Lord through difficult moments. I wouldn't know redemption the way I do now. Wait is for rest!

And at the end of the day, we all need rest. I have waited and I have prayed and my eyes shall see the results of my labour! !
