“There was a man who had 2 sons. The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.” (Lk 15:11-12)
At times we feel we won’t be happy unless God gives us our due. No matter what God’s timing for us is, or His intentions for our lives, we are not satisfied looking forward. We want it now.
Will we force God’s hand? Will we measure His goodness against our lack, or against our anticipation for better things, and make God our debtor? When He pays our perceived debt we will have what we want, but how will we know His love if we forced His blessing?
God has greater things for us that we imagine. He has destined us to do works, and has put marvelous gifts in us for the good of all Mankind. Is it better to ask for His goods now, that we may use them in our narrow view of life? Or will we let His love into our hearts to heal our disappointments and pains?
In God’s healing we find that the wait is sweet. The victory over bitterness is the door to our destiny’s works. All else is a small compensation prize compared to walking with Jesus in the will of the Father. God’s highest calling isn’t in what He can give to us, but in our being His sons and daughters. Amen
