waiting

“To us, waiting is wasting.
To God, waiting is working.”

If I’m being honest, this hit me hard.
If I’m being even more honest, I sat down with a pen and paper the other day and wrote down every single thing that I’m waiting for and told God – “Okay, now what?”

And then I saw this quote.

Here’s the thing friends –
I KNOW He works in the waiting.
I KNOW He hasn’t forgotten about me.
I KNOW His timing is perfect.
I KNOW that I’m not sitting around wasting my time.
I KNOW all of the cliche Christian responses.

But as I was reading the quote for the hundredth time, feeling a little guilty for ever doubting that God is moving, there was also that still, small voice that reminded me to keep bringing things to Him.

Because ultimately, all He wants is for us to keep coming back to Him over and over again.

He can handle our frustrations and exasperations.
He can handle our worries and our fears.
He can handle our questions and concerns.
He can handle our “now what’s.”

And then always come back to the truth that He IS working on our behalf, every minute of every single day.
