Sometimes in life, a great opportunity comes to the door. Us, being
the impatient baboons that we are, generally become overwhelmed with
excitement to the point of going ahead and attempting to see what is on
the other side! Only, we notice that the door is locked.
Out
eagerness overwhelms us as we search for anything and everything in
order to get that darn door open! We use bobby pins, screws, hammers...
forcefully trying to get to what's on the other side. At times, our
yearning for what is on the other side blinds us from seeing how much
damage we have created. Almost to the point of no return, really. All
the while, there's God, patiently waiting off to the side for us to
finally let Him have a go.
We curse the situation and Him, even,
for locking the door in the first place. We become so overcome with the
situation that we forget that He has the key we need in order to get to
the other side! After what seems like ages of stubbornness resulting in a
bigger mess than before, we finally give in. We finally let God take
control. He looks at that mess, smiles, and dusts it all off. He takes
every piece that had been broken in our attempts for happiness and
fulfillment, and replaces them with all things new. Complete
restoration, just like that.
Now, He might not open that door for you right away, but please
friends, be patient. He knows when the time is right. And trust me!
Those tears, the mess, the wait; it'll all be worth it in the end.
