Be patient

God's been teaching both WG and myself this lesson..."Be patient".

Be patient to see God come through with His promises
be patient and trust that step by step He will lead us to where He wants us to go
be patient to sow seeds which will one day reap a harvest
be patient even though it means bearing heavy burdens in the meantime
be patient and be faithful to do just what He has called us to do in this season and time

As human beings, we often want to see immediate results. Bearing the burden of a vision which may take many years to take shape is not very "us". But God's perspective on time is so different from our concept of time.

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." (2 Peter 3:8)

It isn't easy, but we are still thankful, for He has promised us that we are not alone on the journey. He has in fact sent some people to walk alongside us. (met up with Kel and xm this afternoon.. thank girls for your support =p)

Most importantly, we are so glad to have each other on this journey. =)

The Lord reminded me through quiet time today that we have been given a ministry & word of RECONCILIATION...Good Friday's coming up... a great opportunity to meditate on what Jesus has done for all mankind.

A phrase by the author of my devotional material which I really like:

"They need to be reconciled to God and walk in the fullness of that reconciliation."
