Beauty of waiting

"He has made everything beautiful in its time".
~Ecclesiastes 3:11

There is a beauty in waiting.
The waiting heart has hope. It has to trust a power that is higher than its own ability. It has to hurt sometimes, and hurt more times knowing that it has to deal with the pain for a time. The waiting heart is humble and vulnerable. And it is led by the fear of the Lord.

The waiting heart does it
silently without announcing it to the whole world. But it cries quietly before God in the secret place with tears even more beautiful.

"The time" will come.

To the singles waiting for their love of life to appear, to the mothers and wives waiting for their sons and husbands to arrive safely from the battlefield, to parents hoping for their loved children to come back to the Lord, to friends who are ready to forgive only if they come back, to the sufferers waiting for water, food and aid to arrive in due time, to the hearts longing for a miracle to intervene in their situations, the creation that is waiting eagerly for the sons of God to be revealed, and to all the souls waiting for their beloved Savior to come again...

"The time" will come.
And it shall be BEAUTIFUL.
