Good morning, Papa God!
Often times, I have questioned my purpose, my role in these days since retirement. I am still not certain of it in Your kingdom’s work. Sometimes I think that I ponder on it too much and make more of it than I need to. Maybe I am already doing Your will and purpose in my life, and just don’t recognize that I am. Maybe this is all there is for me to do. But, Papa God, there exists within me this restlessness; this yearning and desire to do more. Is this just my “workaholic tendencies” or is it the Holy Spirit moving within me to search out opportunities? Do I really need to search out something to do? Won’t You lead me to the open door that You have chosen for me? How much is this “open door” dependent on my searching? Or is it all Your leading and me just trusting You to lead? I don’t want to be sitting here, waiting for You to open the door, only to find out You are waiting for me to take a step and search out the opportunity. As You can plainly tell, I am confused and do not know what to do. All I have heard You say to me, deep within my soul, is “do what you know to do until I tell you something different to do.” So, Papa God, that’s what I have been doing for a long while now (from my perspective, of course). Time moves slowly when one is waiting, so forgive if I seem impatient. I just don’t want to waste my days that I have left. I just don’t know what to do with my life in these days. Yep! Those are my thoughts this morning, Papa God.
Good morning, My child!
Love waits! Love trusts! Your life and love are in process, waiting for that final moment when all will be made right, when My love is completed in you. Are you waiting patiently for Me as I am for you? Are you resting securely in My love, trusting that one day all the days of your life will make sense? I promise you they will! My child, do not rush ahead of Me, trying to work everything out in your power, or trying to find your next opportunity using your own wisdom. I know you like activity. Being still for a “very long time” is not your style. I know you like to take on life at Mach 9 with your hair on fire. I also know that you want to leave this world just as on fire for Jesus as when you started your journey. But I am asking you to be okay and satisfied with stillness and waiting on Me, to be comfortable with the ordinary, and to not always be looking for the extraordinary. I am working in your ordinary. Really, I am! Just because you are experiencing ordinary in these days does not mean that I am not there in your life. I am the God of the ordinary as well as the extraordinary. I am here with you always just as I promised I would be. Wait for Me to do all things well for you in My perfect time! Never rush what I am preparing for you. Just trust Me and have faith that it will be worth the wait. My plans for you are SO worth the wait, My child! I promise! Blessed are those who wait for Me!
