Waiting

Life goes by faster than we realize. Caught up in busyness the days run into years before we know it. Some days are bad days, some days are good days. We have dreams and expectations for our lives which often don’t happen.

As you grow older at a point you realize that some of those dreams might never happen now. It is a shock. There used to be time and now there isn’t. You used to wait for things that aren’t coming anymore. It is so very easy to feel like your life didn’t fulfill its purpose. As if your life is a waste.

But hold on. Since when are our lives defined by what we did or did not do. Since when is success measured by whether you fulfilled all your dreams.

Certainly you might think the rich and famous might be the only ones on the planet who has the means to do everything they’ve ever dreamed of. So they should be crazy happy right?

Or do they discover that there isn’t a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

That a fulfilled life contains a person who remains cheerful despite sickness. Who gives encouragement to others even though their prayers remain unanswered.

That the dreams and ideals we hold for our lives are not always the same as what Heaven has for us. There are greater things, higher treasure. I’m not saying don’t have dreams or goals. But I am saying that we should prioritise the heavenly agenda for our lives.

Ultimately it will be about love and overcoming.

So if you’re feeling like your life hasn’t turned out the way you envisioned maybe reevaluate that vision. What is heaven’s vision? What matters for eternity? Don’t waste another day wishing for what could’ve been but embrace who you are and what you have today.
