Though it seems that life should be moving faster, I find myself in a rut. It feels like things are taking too long. While I suffer, while the things I want are not fulfilled, simply nothing appears to be happening.
God, I love You! I’m waiting.
And yet, nothing. And the hours go by, and the days elapse, and the months become still one more season, and then the years have gone. Just like that.
And still, nothing.
I’ve hoped in God for so long…
And then He comforts me: Samuel, He says, it takes Me time to build a home for you and your dream. I haven’t forgotten you. Or the ones you love. But the opposite – that little shack you’ve wanted just for yourself, which you’ve put your hope in for so long, I’m turning into a beautiful castle. Every prayer you make, every choice you make to come to me, I turn into another room.
So take heart. You are not on this world to serve yourself. You’re here to serve Me. You’re here to love My loved ones. I’m building your house, and know it’s not at all what you expect. I own the castle and the kingdom, and you are free to come as you may.
It’s that freedom you’re truly searching for, which I put in your heart.
I love you. Keep praying!
A Brave New Heaven
