God is so funny sometimes.
We think things are going to happen like we want and when we want and sometimes we are left thinking are my blessings really going to come?
How long the delay?
And then we get to a place where we literally cant worry about it anymore. We cant for a single moment carry the burden of what he gave us. For even what we believe he gave to us, is impossible for us to carry. Its too big of a thing so even though it is technically ours because he gave it to us, we still have to say, ” Here God, please take this. I cant carry this. I cant even carry an inch of it. It is too heavy for me. It has too much stress attached. I’m going to break and I am too confused about what this baby needs to live. So Lord, will you take it from me. I know that it will be safe in your hands. But if it is with me, it will break everything that is in my hands right now.”
And then we get to a place where we feel peace again. We can rest. The burden has been on our shoulders for so long that we can still feel it even when it isn’t there anymore. We still remember the pain it caused us. We still remember the moments that we nursed it with a bottle and we cared and tended it. But we also remember the deformity, the fact that we weren’t enough to make things happen like only God can, in a smooth and simple way.
God ways are better than that.
God ways don’t carry the sorrow with it, the twistedness.
God ways carry things that will heal our lives, not take away our calling.
So no matter if you had to wait longer for what is going to happen, its okay. He wouldn’t have allowed it if it was not for your good. He knows your heart and he knows that you are open to him and you are on a perfect timeline for what only he could do.
So relax. Your promise is in the perfect hands and at the perfect time, he will deliver.
