The Waiting Is Over

God works in mysterious ways. I surely cannot fathom His amazing plans. I've always been like the Israelites in the Old Testament times, prone to wander in the wilderness of foolish and selfish thoughts; but just like with them, God is also faithful in carrying out His promises to me all in His perfect time. To be honest, I never expected things to turn out this way and I know some would even deem me as a failure or stupid. I, myself, struggled on the same thinking that I failed; so I totally understand how others would see me. But when I think about it, God is really not just in the business of making us prosperous financially. He is in the business of changing hearts. Now as I am traversing the road that God is leading me, I see a wonderful present and a brighter future. God has taught me to set my affection on things of above. God has deliberately asked me to seek Him. He has reminded me to be wise and humble. He has searched my heart and revealed my egoistic ambitions. He has set my heart on something else. He has shown His desires for me. And I know, I believe, and I have faith that that "failure" (whatever you want to call it) is a redirection from the Lord. And wherever God leads me, I will follow. I've been waiting for quite a long time, but God's best time, I believe is almost at hand, or should I say, already at hand.
