*p.s..the different colours in each paragraph represent traffic light colours. Signifying how we need to be patient in life, just as we are when at the traffic lights*
"Time" and "Patience" are two concepts that are interdependent. For one to get to a certain level of achievement it takes time and of course the patience to wait for the right time to come.
2 months ago I wrote about the concept of time, explaining that when we operate on Gods time everything eventually falls into place . This is where "patience" comes in as it is an imperative term applied in our everyday life because we always have to "WAIT" for one thing or the other...be it exam results, job applications, summer, sales, etc etc .
As humans we tend to be so impatient with life and just constantly frustrated at a lot of things and tend to put the blame on God, therefore we become so impatient with HIM because we fail to see the hidden blessings He has planted in our lives. Sometimes it's literally right infront of us, but we are so fixated on the wrong things and what we THINK is good for us, that we completely loose sight of where we should be heading in the first place.But the truth that we fail to come to terms with is that being patient helps us to achieve what we want to achieve to our full potential. We dont always have to rush because we think life is short, sometimes maybe we just need to take a step back and be patient to think ahead because when things do not turn out the way we want them too, the main reason is because we were impatient with Gods plans that we end up indulging in what I call "short term satisfaction"; in other words for a short period of time everything seems gravy and bubbly but then it just comes to an end eventually. Then we try to justify the ending by saying "it was fun while it lasted" PSHT!rubbish zulu chats there if i may add!
I believe if we are headed on the right path in life predetermined by God then surely it shouldn't be temporary enjoyment. The whole idea behind His plan for us is to experience long lasting joy-->Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you...they are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope"
You are YOU! we need to understand that our destiny can never be the same as anyone else, so whenever we find ourselves in a situation where we are rushing into something because our friends or colleagues are doing it and we feel left behind, we need to think carefully is this the right path for me? The truth is whatever God has planned for us is always 1000000000000000000000(u get the point) times better than what we have planned for ourselves. Even though it is hard to see especially when nothing seems to be going the way we want it too.
Be patient, because I believe God is forever making plans to give us eternal joy, so any temporary enjoyment we might have experienced in the past and wanted it to last much longer...MAYBE that wasn't God's plan for you.
Seek for the long-lasting Joy! :)
Be renwed inside&out!
God loves you
