It will happen in God's time. I'll be okay...God willing. It's in God's hands now. These expressions and similar ones suggest that WE ARE WAITING on The Almighty to act on our behalf. But is the situation that we are waiting for to change really God's responsibility? Do we hold resentment against someone for something that they said or did? Do we believe it is up to the other person to change, or for God to intervene? Or is the answer really for US to make a change? To learn how to love unconditionally, to show more kindness, regardless of what was said or done? If we try the latter, we will see that the situation was in our hands the entire time. We have been gifted with the ability to create an amazing life experience, despite our imperfections. Just about any situation can be changed by our actions. Are we lonely? Perhaps we can reach out to others instead of waiting for others to reach out to us. Do we feel that we lack material goods? If we are reading this on an internet connected device that means we are a part of the richest class of people in human history. Perhaps we can take a few minutes to feel APPRECIATION for what we DO HAVE. Although there are some things that are out of our control, much of our life is completely within our control. We hold the paintbrush to paint our lives in any way we see fit. If we choose to create with the colors of love, joy, and compassion, we will certainly begin to see a new picture, one to be really excited about. We will come to see that the thought of us waiting on God was not correct. All along, it was God that was waiting patiently on US...to look within ourselves and discover the perfect gifts of creation left for us. He anticipates seeing what masterpiece will be created next. #paint Luke 13:34 - vis_k
