WAIT - what a bittersweet word

I'm having a love-hate relationship with the word WAIT right now. It's been everywhere lately, in almost everything I do and think about. It's frustrating. No one likes or particularly enjoys having to be patient for things, and that is the hate part. The love part comes when you realize that wait is a momentary or transition time until the correct time come, but IT IS COMING. Which should be a relief but too many peope doubt and quit before they ever get to the correct time, in turn stealing the joy from that future moment.

I have been told to wait. Be patient. Have faith and hold fast because something is coming. A moment is coming. Divine moments are coming and things will reveal why I am in this holding period.

The Lord is faithful and when He promises things to you, He isn't lying. Don't doubt. Keep your eyes forward, there is glory in the distance.

I heard my pastor once preach on patience and he used a Christmas metaphor; God knows what you need, what you long for, and what you are meant for, and He already has it for you beautifully wrapped and placed under the tree for you to open, but today isn't Christmas and the moment of joy when you get to open them has not come yet. Be patient and know they are already in place and the time is coming.
