WHY SO LONG?!!!

There is a family I have known for a couple of years now.

Very recently, they were privileged to own a self-contained apartment. This was a giant leap from the single-room apartment they had lived in all the while.

Like normal expectation, I figured that they would move into the apartment right away but that wasn’t to be so.

I saw them re-paint the building… then it was followed by the fixing of cabinets, then the carpets, furniture, etc.

All these took time.

I was wondering why they had kept so long in getting the apartment ready.

I felt that since they had waited for so long to get the place, they may as well get the refurbishing done quickly… like in a week or two so that they could move in.

Lord forgive my thinking.

In my contemplation, these thoughts were impressed on me.

Sometimes and many times, actually, what we have been searching for may be right in front of our very eyes but the thing is that it is just not ready for the taking.

Let me bring it down to the issue of relationships (male & female relationships).

So you’ve been wondering where your earthly king or queen is.

You keep asking yourself, “why has it taken so long?!”

My answer is, “Be patient”.

For the life the two of you have been destined by God to live, it requires that the both of you are properly prepared to handle your destiny together.

You need to develop virtue; renew your fellowship with God and His Holy Spirit, live out the will of God for your life as a single person, among other things that the Lord will build in you.

It may seem as though it is taking too long a time for him/her to come.

Please be patient as you allow God to work in you and complete His work within you.

Trust me when I say that in time, as the Lord begins to reveal certain vacancies and shortfalls in your life that require His touch and growth, you will be glad he/she isn’t in your life in this moment.

Yes, it takes time.

But see, if the family I was talking about had moved in quickly without renovating the house, they would have been frustrated without the needed items.

The same applies to you.

Without God taking hold of your life and building you up, the insecurities you may have within you may push your king/queen away.

Aside that, let’s reflect on the other people we gave a place to in our hearts… let’s reflect on the pain and wounds their presence and exit caused in our hearts and minds.

Let’s look at the scars which we are not proud of showing to anyone… scars which remind us of our shame…

Only God can fix us and make us whole in order that our joy would not come from the presence of another person but rather, from the presence of God in our lives and His Hand upon us.

God loves you and He will give you the very best if only You will allow Him to build you up into the man or the woman He has created you to be.

It is very possible with God.

Cheers to waiting for God’s best!!!
