The Wait is Tiring
Don’t Give Up, Change Perspective….
As a millennial of this social society, I would be remise into making you think that I don’t have the popcorn mentality that my peers have from time to time. And as a visionary, I would be lying if I said that every time, I envisioned something, I didn’t want it to come to past within a couple weeks. I used to ask God “Why did you give me a glimpse just for it to take years to make it happen.” As I am journeying through life, I realized that I had to apologize to God for rushing His time because as the process to what I am waiting on continues, it shows me something about myself that I either needed to correct or never knew (character building). I am learning that God’s timing is the best timing and that anything that is rushed will come to ruins.
How would you feel if the dream you had suddenly didn’t work after getting it? Imagine this: You ask God for something tomorrow, He gives it to you, and it’s not what you thought it would be. Talk about disappointed! But you know what? We never have to worry about that with God because he gives exceedingly and abundantly above what we could ask or think and that’s what I love the most about waiting. The promise coming forward is going to blow your mind so much so that even you won’t have enough room to receive. God’s word in 1 Corinthians 2:9 gives us that hope in the wait, that no eyes have seen and no ears have heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him. But you have to wait for God’s timing.
Stay encouraged through the wait, though it is tiring, frustrating, lonely, rough, etc. I challenge you to no get weary in well doing. Keep walking by and in faith for what it is you are believing for and Trust God to bring it pass.
Listen Sis, I been writing to my future husband for 2 years now and as I wait to give him the pages of my heart, doing this has altered my response while I am waiting. So I charge you to change your response while you wait too. I’ve also had a business venture that I cannot wait to release that has been complete in totality for a year and I am waiting for the right connections to form into place but I’m in the arena! I couldn’t have gotten in the area without taking the time for God to lead me there. Instead of complaining thank God for where you are now, find out what makes you feel closer to the promise. Figure out what God wants from you during this time, challenge yourself to think on positive outcomes and change your self-talk.
Much like Cinderella, she had to wait for the prince to try on HER SHOE (crazy how the promise is already in the making, just not delivered yet) on many different women until he got to her. Always remember that when the shoe fits, it will only fit on you. Keep moving forward, your time is coming sooner than you think, better than you can imagine and bigger than you ever desired. Be in solace that God cares for you enough to prepare the place and the people to receive YOU!
