I have been writing a lot about waiting, and trusting. Because I have struggled with the when? and why? of what God has been doing in my life. Slowly I am coming to realize, and understand a little more about the Patience that God desires in my life. It seems so difficult to wait, and sometime I would even despair that God was really working in my life at all.
I thought that if God was really behind this all, He was being quiet cruel, and mean to allow me to believe that He was leading me in a direction only to jerk it out from under me. (like leading an animal with a carrot just out of reach and never letting it get it).
God is doing more then that, He sees a lot more then I can see now, and he knows exactly what I need! My spiritual growth is a whole lot more important to Him, then me getting the "place" that I believe He wants me to have. According to James one I should be rejoicing that I have the privilege to grow in this test, instead of complaining about how difficult it is to trust God.
The Bud James 1:2-4
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.KJV
I love this verse it often reminds me that the hard times the trying of my faith works patience in my life and that is far more important then what I am waiting and trusting God for.
As spring is coming over us I think that God in his mercy sent trials for a time to strengthen me that when the time is right the bud that is swelling will burst into a beautiful blossom!
That is exactly what God is doing in my life!
The blossom of my soul is beginning to open!
