The open-air dining room in Crystal Springs, New Zealand is
a peaceful place where words seem to stir your soul…
The words stirring mine are: why, wait, and wonder.
At twenty-seven years, old I am much like a child. I never tire of asking, “Why?” That question never seems to get
old. In a generation driven by a
quick fix for everything, I am learning that waiting requires patience.
Maybe the Lord wants me to rest knowing that instant
gratification is not what I need right now. This is a hard lesson to learn. I am discovering it is better to know the true character of God
than to have all the answers.
If I am living my life in search of only answers,than I might continue missing
all the beautiful moments.
As I ask why… I wait and I wonder. Do I hear His voice?
Sometimes God doesn’t
always explain things to us. I
should not demand the creator of the universe to answer all my “whys”
instantaneously. Part of the
great mystery of creation is that we do not always understand.
Being scared about the unknown or
the unanswered
does not require any courage.
Being willing to venture into the
unknown requires tremendous faith.
I feel like I can relate to Job. When everything seems to be
stripped away, we must recognize that God is all we have. I must remember that in all the pain, in
all the questions… this life is not my final destiny.
The Lord spoke to me through these words the last few days:
I made her in such a way.
That she would need me.
I made her a little more lonesome
than she would like to be…
Only because I need her to depend on Me.
I know her heart, I know if I had
not made her like this,
She would go her own way and
forget me… her Creator.
Are you seeking the
unanswered and missing all the sweet moments?
I have been.
Today, I see the
beauty of the mountains and I feel the breeze rushing briskly and I know God is
healing my soul and mind.
He loves me in my
weakness and covers my heart daily.
I am FREE to walk with Him.
