So what's this life thing all about? Here's the fact: my friend just had a "providence" about her life; that long-sought direction of what to do with these years she's been given. I have been waiting and searching for that inspiration for a long time. Now, I'm not envious, I'm actually OVERWHELMINGLY happy for her. Still...
It makes me think. I firmly believe that I will get the things I want in life. Let me explain that. Psalm 37:4 says "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." I believe that God is not just willing to give us what we want, but actually WANTS those things for us. In fact, He is the one who gave us those desires, and He gave them to us because they serve His ultimate plan.
So for instance, through events that have happened to me recently, I have grown a desire to one day get married, and to have that special person next to me in our life-journey. I believe that God will at the right time, give to me that person He has literally made for me. Is it possible that God wants me to stay single forever? Yes, and there is a whole reasoning strain there, but I believe He is the One behind my desire, and that He will at the right time fulfill that desire.
Life is a jigsaw puzzle. Only thing is, I'm putting it together piece by piece, but I have no idea what the picture is. What I need, is to see at least some of what is in my picture, and that is what my friend got tonight. I am, however, trying to maintain a healthy attitude here. I know that it is not my time to see the picture. I know that my time of providence will come. I'm just impatient.
But still, God has given me a desire to know the picture, so I can only believe that He will fulfill that desire too. He wont hold back from me the things He wants me to have. I love that. So for now, I have to keep putting those pieces of the puzzle together; a day here, a week here. One of these times, I will start to see the picture, and it'll be the perfect time. God is good, and He will always be good. Because of this, I will never have to fear.
