Right Things, Right Time

Timing is everything.

We serve a God who is outside of time and space.

A thousand years to Him are like one day to us.

We oftentimes want to get in a hurry and rush against the Lord's perfect timing.

The things that are meant for us will come to us when they're meant to arrive.

It sounds obvious, but it's the truth.

God has a bigger picture in mind for everything in our lives.

Waiting is difficult. Staying in motion when God says to go is difficult.

If you don't wait for God's timing and will, you will end up missing the target instead of hitting it.

Sometimes God sends you signals not to go forward with something. If you're hardheaded, He may clobber you with warnings.

When making a living, think about what gifts you have and use them well. We must give an account of how we used our talents here.

Where passion, purpose, and gifting converge, that's the right path.

Oftentimes, you find it when you're meant to.

Friendship is important. It is so important that we must pick them carefully. Sometimes walking with Christ means losing friends.

But some people are meant for a season.

If someone is meant to stay, they will. 

In God's perfect timing, new friends will show up who are meant to cross paths with you.

There's nothing wrong with praying for good people to enter your life.

God answers our prayers when they align with His will. He wants to give us good gifts.

I've recently had uplifting conversations with a new acquaintance of mine and feel spiritually filled.

The friendships God sends our way are for our good, to help us become all we can be.

Men should support other men, women should support other women, and both genders should support each other.

Everyone wins that way. 

The trickiest thing to get right, though, is romantic relationships.

Timing is critical. The right person at the wrong time is not necessarily the right thing.

The right person fits like a puzzle piece, perfectly crafted for your life. They will understand you like no one else and bring unspeakable joy to your life.

You'll click with them, and it will work.

This doesn't mean it won't be hard sometimes. But it's up to God when the right time comes. You might meet them tomorrow or when you're in your early forties.

Like with friendship, it's best to pray for the right person. I believe in soulmates, the right person, the right place, and the right time. It will all fall into place.

Those paths will cross when they're meant to.

Perhaps starting as friends and letting things unfold over time will lead to something beautiful in its time (Ecclesiastes 3:11). That's more like courtship, but it's best to let intentions be known from the start. And if you don't click that way, you've got a friend. You win either way.

It all comes down to our wants and wills surrendering to God's will.

Let him decide what that is and the proper time. If it's now, great! If it's further down, that's also great.

Because Yahweh knows best, and who better than God to orchestrate these things in our lives?

You can't go wrong with trusting Him with all things. He will make the path straight and lead you to the right thing at the right time.

Let Him have the pen and write the story.
