Suddenly...

Sometimes life can be discouraging. When you look to the horizon of your future...you can see nothing. It doesn't feel like that promise is on its way. It doesn't feel like any doors are opening. It doesn't feel like your husband is on the horizon. It doesn't feel like anything in your life is about to change.

However...what I have remembered recently in my walk with God is that the bible...and our lives...are filled with "suddenly" moments. Just when you think nothing is happening..."suddenly you meet someone. Or suddenly you get a phone call. Or suddenly you find a perfect job vacancy".

We need to learn to not focus on the horizon of our future. Because we see such a small piece of the picture. We never see what God is doing behind the scenes, until suddenly something happens. We never see who is about to enter our lives. We never see what door God is about to open, what opportunity is about to be presented to us, or who we might cross paths with. That's why our focus needs to stay on God. We can trust Him. Trust his timing. His plan. His purpose.

God loves us. He wants to bless us. Pour joy and happiness into our lives. He wont make us wait longer than we need it, despite our impatience. He wont ever forget us. He wont leave us on the shelf. He wont let us miss out. He wont keep blessing everyone else except you. So don't get caught up in your circumstances. Don't get discouraged. Because just when you are ready to give up, "suddenly" might just happen...
