“ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.”
It is said that timing is everything, more so when we are faced with the prospect of not being able to realise our dreams within the timescale that we have determined is appropriate to serve our purpose. The sun will rise, and set regardless of our plans well prepared, yet subject to Our Father's timing perfectly calibrated to serve the common good.
How big is the little thing that was given at the right time. ~ Menander
Our Father listens to us, with the love that a dad has for a child wanting it all here and now. The Eternal One replies asking us to remain patient that we may grow out of our self serving ways, to embrace all that the divine mystery provides for our well being.
All men commend patience, although few are willing to practice it.~ Thomas ŕ Kempis
There is a natural rhythm to life that escapes our attention when we are hell bent on getting our way. Anchoring ourselves into the natural rhythm of Our Father's Grace is not lost on the faithful person, trusting that Our Father will always deliver on His promises, accomplishing His plan for our life.
Two things define you: Your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything. ~ George Bernard Shaw
