Waiting is not a trait that does not come easily to me. I enjoy getting things done. In fact I keep a to-do list and find satisfaction in checking items off of it. And I don’t like to have items on that list for several weeks. When there is a breakdown I want to get on getting it repaired or replaced as quickly as possible.
When it comes to personal growth I don’t like waiting either. I often have asked God to help me be more mature. I am thankful that God continues to work in my life and ‘grow me up.’ However, when I think of being mature there seems to be no end in sight.
So, I must learn to wait and let God work in my life according to His timing. Just as youngsters must wait for Christmas I wait for God to make me into the person that pleases Him.
