In today\u2019s world, we are used to getting things fast. We don\u2019t want to wait in a line to pay for something or for the pedestrian traffic light to cross a street. We expect everything to move fast. If we want to contact someone from around the world, we can just give them a call, instead of writing a letter and waiting weeks to get a response. If we want to buy something but don\u2019t have the money, we can just swipe our credit card and off we go with a new watch or whatever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This habit can lead to a lot of dissatisfaction and anger when we don\u2019t get something as quickly as we might think we deserve it. Maybe you\u2019re waiting for something bigger like a spouse, to get a baby, for a promotion, a situation to change, and so on. To be honest with you, I\u2019m definitely a creature of our time. I\u2019ve been falling into this trap over and over again. How I admire people who have the patience to wait in peace for the right time or see things through!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also very easy to get frustrated with God. It could be that you prayed for something in particular and guess what; years went by and seemingly nothing happened. And what\u2019s the habitual response? “I want it now. Give it to me, God!\u201c But it seems like we forget that God isn\u2019t pressured by time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 2. Peter 3:8<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience has taught me that God\u2019s timing has been perfect in many areas of my life. For example, with my husband: If we had met earlier, I\u2019m convinced that our relationship would have been a big mess. But by the time we met, God has already done a lot of work in our hearts to prepare us to serve each other. I\u2019m not saying that we have a perfect relationship now. However, I\u2019m amazed at the amount of peace, love and grace we enjoy in our union because God prepared us for each other. It\u2019s funny how we understand and accept things when looking back, but not when we\u2019re waiting, hoping and praying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:14<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, it\u2019s all about God: He has a purpose and a direction for your life and the whole world. After all, we are his servants through whom he\u2019ll bring his kingdom on this earth, to show love to the unloved and to bring hope to the hopeless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter whether what you get isn\u2019t what you wanted or when you wanted it, in the end, the only thing that counts is God and his will. Therefore, we can relax for we know that God holds everything, even time itself, in his hand and that he has a plan that\u2019s greater than anything we have ever experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. Ecclesiastes 3:1<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never forget that God loves you unconditionally. Rest assured that if a door closes or God\u2019s timing takes longer than you expected, it\u2019s for your own good. To resume the story about me and my husband: You have no idea how many times I\u2019m still thanking God for all the doors he closed on other guys, for all the hoping and praying, because it paid off. Waiting for God\u2019s timing to introduce me to the best husband ever was totally worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust that if something is for you, you\u2019ll get it at the right time for God is good!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
