Wait on Me, My princess. My timing is always perfect. I know you're anxious about many things, and I see your passion for all the plans I have put in your heart. I know that you long to fly, and I see your enthusiasm. However, just as a vine dresser nurtures the vine and waits patiently for the right moment to harvest the grapes, so too am I working tirelessly to prepare you to bear much fruit. Don't run ahead of Me or try to fly before My plans are complete. Your strength will fail you, and your dreams will wither away. Trust Me that My dreams for you are far greater than you can dream on your own. You will run farther and soar higher if you will patiently wait for the season of My blessing. Draw close to Me now, and I promise that this season of waiting will bring you the sweetest of rewards.
Love,
Your King and Lord of perfect timings
But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
As I look back to all the post that I posted in this blog, I stopped in one of my post "Wait on Me, My Princess.. My Prince". I wrote that post sometime in April when I was in that "waiting" moment. I copy paste the short letter from God here and the exactly same verse that I used in that post. It's just amazing when you look back and realized that the "waiting" time is so worth it. That God will always fulfill His promises in our life.
I remembered when I wrote that post I was in a pretty hard situation; I didn't get my US visa so I can't do the school that I wanted to do, my mom's health dropped and she went to the hospital, I was so broke that I didn't have any penny, I was so down because I didn't know what should I do next. All my dreams and plans were all dead.
It was one of the hardest moments in my life. I remembered I was sobbing, crying out loud to God and asked Him why. And that was the time He came and told me to wait for His perfect timing, to believe that He has plan for my life, to be patient and know that it will all bring me the sweetest of rewards.
Was it easy to believe it? Nahh! I struggled for a while, up and down again and again.
But now I started to see it, to see that His plan for my life is beyond my own imagination, my own plan, my own dreams. To realized that God really dream a bigger dream for me. And that is beyond amazing!
Not so long after I cried out loud to Him, He showed me His will in my life. In the beginning I was so shocked and trying to let go that ultimate trust. But again, its all about obedience and faith. To believe that no matter how hard your life and/or your situation is, God can bring you out from it.
In June 2012, I led a team of Indonesian people to China. God amazingly provided more than $10,000 for it in less than a month. It was a great privilege for me to lead the team and bring my own people to the land of China. During one month of our time there, God brought us so many new people and gave us the opportunity to share His love to them. God gave me and the team that privilege to see Him working in each of their hearts. The opportunity to lead them to believe Him. The opportunity to baptize them in His name. It was an amazing experience.
And I can't stop thanking Him for it.
It is written: But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. - Isaiah 40:31
It's true and will always be true.
During that time of waiting He molded me, and He is still molding me until today. So I can be that woman that He wants me to be. He cuts every branch in me that bears no fruit so it will be even more fruitful. He's taking me places so that I will learn and grow deeper with my relationship with Him, the lover of my soul.
And now He's giving me a bigger job, a bigger task, a bigger vision, an ultimate trust. It freaks me out still, but knowing that He is and will always be with me, it gives me such a comfort.
So the point of this post is to let you know that "waiting moments" are worth the wait. As long as you wait on the Lord; you will surely find new strength, you will surely fly high on wings like eagles, you will surely run and not grow weary and you will surely walk and not faint.
His promises are real.
Remember that God dream a bigger dream for you. So if you're dreaming of becoming a cook, He can make you a chef. If you're dreaming of becoming a director of a company, He can make you the owner. If you're dreaming of becoming His servant, He will make you His children--an heir of His Kingdom.
But that will only happen if you let Him work in and through your life.
Let Him be the pilot and surely He will take us to highest place that we can never imagine of.
So let us fly high on wings like eagles!
