Yellow lights. Yellow hearts.
God gave me one of His favorite answers to my prayers, “Yes, but not yet.”
Not yet? Why?
I asked the tears to come. But they stayed up there in their tear clouds. So I swallowed. I took a deep breath and tried to compose my thoughts. But nothing.
Have you ever wound up one of the toys that just goes off on its own when you let go of it?
That’s me. So wound up. And then halfway through the winding, I’m told to sit still. To do nothing.
These are my favorite moments. The trying times. The tests. The minutes that seem like hours. The instances when the Bible seems truer and wiser than my wisest answers. God feels nearer than ever.
Why should life be easy?
There’s so much sweet in the bitter. If only we can see that the suffering of this present time can not be compared with the glory that is to come.
You know when you’ve studied for the test? And then you see the questions? You know you’re gonna do great. Ask yourself. What if we pass with flying colors?
Then? Victory. And joy.
So why not be happy now? It’s all a choice. Choose wisely.
