And it HIT ME – I NEED TO BE MORE “MERRY” about my “JUST …MAYBES”… What do I mean by that?
Wellllll…
JUST MAYBE … I am going through “IT” or “THIS” or “THAT” in order to help the next person get THROUGH “THIS” or “THAT” or “IT”.
JUST MAYBE … I need to sit in “IT” or “THIS” or “THAT” for a while and learn something that will develop my own faith muscle for a future time.
Soooo… JUST MAYBE… From this day forward when my desires of my own heart are delayed … OR my prayers for others are even put on hold… I will FUEL UP MY FAITH TANK –SAY MY PRAYERS AND WAIT PATIENTLY for the VERY BEST OUTCOME -(Which may indeed be different than what I thought).
In the WAIT… I WILL REMEMBER…. JUST MAYBE… IT IS NOT FOR ME or THEM…. TO KNOW …YET.. OR ... even... ever.
In the WAIT… I WILL REMEMBER…. JUST MAYBE …God WANTS me to be a little uncomfortable so I can LEAN ON HIM MORE.
IN THE WAIT… I WILL REMEMBER… JUST –MAYBE- God WANTS me to be inconvenienced so I can rely on HIM EVEN MORE.
JUST- MAYBE- My inconvenience or WAITING is actually HIM inviting me into conversation WITH HIM.
Maybe Just Maybe… in those desperate times where I am “WAITING” it is really HIM (The GREAT MAN UPSTAIRS) INVITING ME (OR THOSE I LOVE) INTO A DEEPER INTIMACY ….One that I could have never experienced w/o that wait.
AND Maybe… JUST Maybbbeee…. by always creating what I think is the “perfect” scenario I have been standing in the way of something…. Better… Maybe … “I” am the problem. Just – Maybe I am…
JUST MAYBEEEEE…. He wants me… or wanted ME to get out of HIS way all along….
Workin’ the Wait… and Getting out of His way so He can do His work.
