One of the hardest things in my life is to learn to wait on God. I want everything right now and it’s weird because I have conditioned myself this way. I would believe that if I do something right for God then he should bless me. Wow, was I wrong, this is not a barter system we have with Jesus. He is constantly blessing those that love him. No matter how many times I say this to myself and pray about it I always end up asking the question, When is it my time, Lord? You see I want so many things and yet I want them to fall into my lap. It’s not that God doesn’t want to answer the prayers I have prayed, but what effort in my heart, body, mind, and soul am I willing to surrender to him. I watch other peoples lives and see things going well for them and I say come on Lord I want that. Well, God has taught me an awesome lesson again and the truth is what we see on the outside or what we see as the grass is greener, may not be all its cut out to be. There are many people in this world who have everything you could possible want and desire, yet there is something missing. We choose not to accept the fact that Christ is the missing piece. I know in my life I stay in a constant battle between good and evil. My body and brain want so badly to sin and my soul and Holy Spirit want so badly to love those that are broken. I look at this world and through all the crap I realize one thing. The only way to live is Christ centered. Yes, you will make sacrifices beyond your imagination, but they will in turn help Jesus mold you into the man or woman of God that he created you to be. I would like to end by stating for the record, Jesus did answer my question and he simply said, My Son your time is now! Serve me and obey me and thats all you need to do right now. Amen and Amen
