God’s timing is perfect. He’s never late, and He’s never early.

I’ve kind of “struggled” with this, especially as of late. I’m in the season of my life where I’m enjoying my time with Jesus, and setting my eyes on Him, and focusing on my relationship with Him. But I pray for Him to bring my husband to me, every night. Next month will be a year that I’ve been single. I’ve dated, but nothing was ever serious; there was no one to come home to or serve (take care of) or share passions with. And I constantly have to tell myself that it’s all a part of God’s plan.

“Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end…” – Ecclesiastes 3:11

Who am I to get frustrated when things don’t happen when I want them to? Who am I to get irritated when something is placed on me before I think I’m ready for it? It’s not about me. My mission in life is to serve Him. So if He places something on my plate, it’s time to handle it. Now. And if He’s making me wait for something… Well, who knows why that is. Maybe I’m not in the position at work that I want because He’s setting up a bigger opportunity for me. Maybe I’m single because my husband isn’t ready for ME yet. Maybe God has placed it on my heart to travel because my husband doesn’t even live in this state. Maybe I don’t have money in my bank account to go on a mini-vacation on this 3-day weekend because He’s setting up a better opportunity where the weather’s perfect. Or maybe my bank account is empty because He has something else on the horizon He’s setting up before I spend any money on anything. Only God knows. And all I have to do is trust Him. I could sit here and sulk and complain about how long it’s taking… Or I can just enjoy the ride and my personal time with Him:

“…So I concluded that there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can.” – Ecclesiastes 3:12

Because God will provide. He tells us in Jeremiah 29 that His plans for us are only good. And in Matthew 7, Jesus compares God to that of a parent; if your parents have the means to give you want you want or need, they would give it to you because they love you. And God loves us. So why wouldn’t He give us everything our hearts desired? If our hearts are in the right place. Boomsauce. Marinate on that.

Happiness lies in Jesus. Peace lies in Jesus. No stress, no worries, and unconditional love; what else could your heart desire? If all your heart wants is Jesus… Well, Jesus is all you need.
