Dear friends, Waiting can be one of the most difficult yet rewarding aspects of love. When your heart yearns for that special someone, time often seems to move slower than normal. Though challenging, this period of anticipation allows you to grow in patience and hope.
Rather than constantly questioning when your beloved will arrive, try to fill your time with meaningful pursuits. Nurture your spiritual life through prayer and scripture reading. Tend to your other relationships and serve those in need. Work diligently at the tasks before you. When doubt or anxiety arises, remember God’s faithfulness and timing are perfect.
Trust that your loved one will come to you at the proper time. Have faith that God hears your deepest desires and will satisfy them according to His divine wisdom. Until then, find contentment and purpose in each new day. Let your light shine as an example of one whose hope is in the Lord.
