I have to admit…there are times and days when I find myself questioning God, and I find myself wondering why he doesn’t make himself more obvious…and there are also times when I find myself delighting in God’s subtle voice. Sometimes the most powerful messages are not shouted. Sometimes they are whispered and sometimes they are texted!
Tonight I was walking back to my dorm from dinner, and I found myself wondering, for the thousandth time, about my future. I am a person who likes to constantly be working towards some goal or another, and it can be so irritating to have nothing that I can do about so many aspects of my future. I can do nothing to guarantee that I will ever get married, find the kind of job that I can hope for, or even figure out what God is trying to do with my life…I was thinking all of these things when I felt my cell phone go off in my pocket with a text message reading…
“Love is Patient
Love is Kind
It does not envy
It does not boast”
The “Love is Patient” part is what made me stop in my tracks. I do not show love to God, or to the people who will be in my future when I so impatiently attempt to wait…in fact, I cease to show love to the people in the present when I spend all of my time wondering about my life in the future…silly me!
Love is Patient…
it rejoices in the joy that is right in front of it rather than seeking its replacement.
