Lucky

"But God's not finished. He's waiting around to be gracious to you. He's gathering strength to show mercy to you. God takes the time to do everything right—everything. Those who wait around for him are the lucky ones." --Isaiah 30:18 (the Message)

Sometimes, I really don't understand God's timing. I want what I want when I want it [which is usually NOW], and I'm greatly discouraged when my timing obviously doesn't match up with His.

I've recently been disheartened by past relationships [and lack of relationships, to be quite honest], and I'm hurt by the loneliness I often feel. I told my sister a couple of weeks ago that I never thought I'd be at this point in my life and not have a special someone to share it with. But according to Isaiah, God takes the time to do everything right—everything.

God is taking His time with me, getting me ready for that wonderful person He's going to put in my life. I just hope that I don't stay angry with Him and that I allow Him to work in me to get me ready for him.
