It's All In God's Timing

 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.~Ecclesiastes 3:11 (ESV)
I remember reading somewhere that patience was a virtue and I thought just what does that mean. Surely my virginity is not tied to being patience🤣? So I looked it up and one definition said virtue is a quality considered morally good or desirable in a person; which lead me to consider how people we care for know better but choose not to do better. To watch potential wasted is truly a difficult thing and to realize that the people you care about know better and yet choose not to do better is often mind boggling, or just plan heartbreaking!

Often we find ourselves in situations or in relationships with people that have the potential to be great but for one reason or another they’ve decided to go a different route. This just seems to be a normal occurrence in life and everyone I know is dealing with it in one form or another. Maybe you have a loved one that has not realized their full potential, and no matter what you say or do they continue on the same destructive path. Or you have a dream and no matter how much you work on things it just don’t seem to go right. Although everything you see and feel is contrary to your desires you just have to stand and believe God.

I know it’s difficult to watch the people you love self destruct. Often I compare it to watching a bad horror movie, when you know what’s going to happen and you find yourself yelling at the TV. You know they cannot hear you but you do it anyway. Or when you watch your favor movie and you pray that it ends differently. It’s that same hope of a better outcome you hold for that person or project you love. If they mess up 100 you still believe that 101 will be different. And although you hope for better there are still somethings you have to do to support them differently. We can not be enablers or continue to be fixers. Sometimes we have to let go and watch the bad movie to the end, letting them find their way. 

So what can we do? We can pray. I truly believe prayer changes things. What do you pray for? You pray for God’s covering, protection as they go through, spiritual awakening and for deliverance from whatever is keeping them stuck in brokenness. I pray their eyes be opened to God’s truth of who they really are and that they find a better more exciting way of doing things.

So on today no matter what that dark situation looks like keep hoping and believing for better. Scripture say it only takes a mustard seed of faith to move mountains, so trust and believe for better.
