You would think after doing it for over 22 years, I would be
good at waiting.
Hahahahaha, no.
Not the case.
It’s like I reset overnight somehow.
Doubts creep in.
I forget who I am in Him.
I forget what He’s done & what He’s promised.
As I type this, I realize it sounds silly and it really IS!
I think we all do this. We have a head knowledge that God
has an amazing, mind-blowing plan for us- yet our flesh, surroundings and
insecurities test us every day. They question the truth that is ours, no matter
what.
We forget all the time what God has done and His promises
that we know He will fulfill.
Don’t jump the gun. Don’t go on your own whim because you’re
tired of waiting. Don’t let your doubt overcome your faith.
So, just as a reminder for today, you’re not forgotten.
He hasn’t changed His mind.
He hasn’t stopped loving you.
He’s not torturing you by waiting. (Though sometimes it
feels like it.)
He’s growing you through this and the outcome will be
greater the longer you wait.
I’m saying this to myself too; He knows your desires. He
knows your heart. He knows the difficulty of waiting. He knows the amazing
outcome and joy that’s coming!
Hang on!
What are you waiting on? What reminds you not to give up?
