God Won’t Hurry Our Hearts

God will not rush your healing. And God will not rush your growth. http://HolleyGerth.com

I stare out the window into the backyard. From my breakfast table I can see a robin fluffing out her feathers. The trees reach up to the sky with new leaves that wave good morning. A chubby squirrel gathers a few acorns to save for later. As I look, I realize the pace beyond my windows is so different than the one within them. We, as humans, are tempted to hurry. And yet it seems God is intent on slowing us down.

He gives us a Sabbath and we work through the weekend.

He gives us three meals a day to let us slow down and we pick fast food.

He gives us eight hours of sleep a night and we try to squeak by on far less.

We hurry when we’re afraid that we’ll be late, miss out on something, or disappoint someone. God doesn’t need to hurry because He has all the time in eternity. This is good news for us, friends. It means…

God will not rush your healing.

And God will not rush your growth.

God is okay with where you are right now. He’s not tapping His toe impatiently. He’s not looking at His watch with a sigh. He’s not trying to get you out the door a few minutes sooner. The God who loves you is willing to give you the time you need. All of time belongs to Him and He is generous with it. He gives it freely to fluffy birds and budding trees and chubby squirrels.

And He’ll give it to your heart–as much as you need.

XOXO
