Have you ever considered the notion of God waiting for us? We often refer to the fact that we are the ones who seem to do a lot of waiting for God, especially when it comes to the answering of our prayers. However, today's quote got me thinking about God's remarkable patience and grace with each of us. See what you feel.
"God waits to dwell in us and to fill
us with yet more grace, more love, more wholeness and with his own fullness.
But the God of the Bible never bulldozes his way into a person's life. He loves
us enough to wait until, out of our own free will, we invite him to come to
us." - Joyce
Huggett
Perhaps it may make even more sense, when you read it in light of 1 Timothy 1:16 - "But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life."
Let me know what you are thinking.
Living in Grace
