NOW is the time!
How excited I was already in the morning for New Year's Eve! I was invited to a big party and couldn't wait to be there!
But at that moment, another thought struck me: "Why am I waiting for then when now is now? I'm practically waiting to be happy then... and subconsciously convincing myself that now, while I'm sitting in the office, I can't be happy." Do you know what I mean, friend?
We all look forward to special occasions! And somehow, we live for that moment, eagerly awaiting its arrival so that we can experience a happy and beautiful moment.
In doing so, we overlook these present moments. These moments when we're waiting for a highlight shouldn't just be moments of waiting, but moments where good things are also waiting for us!
You don't have to wait for the next big highlight when RIGHT NOW, the greatest highlight is waiting for you: your life!
Because the time for good things isn't just coming, it's ALREADY here NOW! While you're waiting for a highlight, your miracle may be right here.
Paul also reminded people back then: "We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain" (2 Corinthians 6:1 NKJV). For He says: ‘In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.’ Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." (2 Corinthians 6:2 NKJV)
friend, are you aware of how much good you're experiencing RIGHT NOW? Even when I was a child, my family regularly sang a French song, which I've just found in English and would like to attach for you today:
"Compte les bienfaits de Dieu," which means: "Count the blessings you have," and the lyrics continue: "...keep it before your eyes and you will be surprised at how much good God does for you!"
friend, as you do that, you might realize something exciting:
Perhaps the special moment you're waiting for is the moment you're experiencing right now!
You are a miracle!
