I am worth the wait

I am worth the wait
:from Jesus

The Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God's promises to be fulfilled. Romans 15:4

I know that you would rather I do things on your timetable. But I love you too much to conform to your agenda. I'm inviting you into mine. And sometimes that will mean that you have to wait on me. This is nothing new. Throughout history, people of faith have always had to learn to wait. But I also know that waiting isn't easy. Waiting on me to act, to provide, or to heal is hard. But when you learn to wait patiently on me, something significant happens inside your soul. My promises become more precious to you and become the solid ground of your hope. You become more dependent on me, learning to trust that waiting in whatever frustrating, unproductive situation you are in will prove eternally valuable. Wait for me. Watch for me to work. I will, when time is right.

Lord, I am always in such a hurry for relief and resolution. Teach me to wait patiently, without complaint, calmly trusting that you will do the right thing at the right time....
