“I just want this thing fixed!”
How often
have you heard this statement? No matter if it’s a car problem, a relationship
issue, a chronic health condition, or a world gone crazy, we just want things to work right again so
that we can be on our merry way!
What
happens when that ‘thing’ doesn’t get fixed in three easy steps? What if it
takes a whole lot more work than we had anticipated and maybe the solution is
still a mystery? How do we continue to trust and believe that it will be fixed?
How do we react when we think of the possibility that it won’t be fixed?
How do we live when the healing is not in
the now, but in the not yet? I fix my eyes on Jesus, the one who gives me faith
to believe. I must come back to the truth that God loves me, no matter what things
may look like. And as I continue to do what I can, I come back to trusting the
One who knows me best and loves me most - He is my healer. He has promised to be with me always
and forever. I am never alone in my fear and dread. I continue to be grateful for the good times.
I am looking forward to the time when all will be well! Because one day it will be.

DeleteWe live in such an impatient world, don't we? We want it all fixed now and everything to be better, but I do believe at times (most of the time) God is trying to teach us patience and perseverance. Some of us (me) are slower learners than others. But you are right, keeping your eyes focused on Jesus is really the best way to live. He never lets us down and "fixes" things in his perfect timing and perfect will.
