My PRESENT circumstances are not what I have planned
because my EXPECTATIONS are not being met
because
GOD has a better
PRESENT
because
HIS EXPECTATIONS
are way better than what I could ever imagine.
But even though
I know that HE knows,
right now
I am growing WEARY WAITING
for what I can't change.
Can you relate?
Especially when we are told~
"And let us not grow weary while doing good,
for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart" (Galatians 6:9).
To GROW WEARY~
the temptation to LOSING HEART.
The term LOSE HEART describes the weariness and fear a mother experiences in labor. Oh how she is totally out of control in the midst of the hard work and pain that the delivery process demands. She doesn't know how long it will last, yet she has no choice but to go through it,
as a baby WAITS for no one.
Oh the WEARINESS of the WAIT that becomes so taxing on the heart,
yet she has to continue through even though she may be
LOSING HEART.
Are you LOSING HEART?
Are you holding on to a thread as your arms are getting tired?
When we get too focused on what isn't going right in our life
we miss WHO is right all the time
because
JESUS is never wrong
even though HE was wronged.
JESUS always is good
even though others called HIM bad.
JESUS is JESUS
whether anyone didn't believe that
HE was
&
whether anyone believes that
HE is
&
that
HE will always be.
So what do we do when we get WEARY in WAITING
and start to LOSE HEART
and be tempted to GIVE UP?
We FAST from
the WEARINESS of WAIT
and instead
let JESUS
UN~WEARY us
as HE tells us to
"Come to ME all who are WEARY and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28)
And JESUS means what HE says, and says what HE means.
Oh a smile returns to my face
as I am not LOSING HEART
because
JESUS IS JESUS
and HE changes everything~
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
Therefore
BE WAITLESS
&
"PRESS FORWARD WITH A STEADFASTNESS IN CHRIST" (watch below)
because
JESUS is always doing good.
