Waiting

Waiting is not always an easy thing to do , though it is something that those of us who suffer, in multiple different ways, come to know well. It can be agonising, irritating, frustrating, yet also exciting, peaceful and many other things besides. It is definitely something that we  can all experience differently. It does not always feel like a blessing, yet if we can hold on to the Peace of God while we wait and focus not so much on the waiting but on the beauty and goodness of the present moment, it can help.

So how do we wait with God?

We can  wait in contemplation and prayerfulness.  And in our contemplation we may discover that we are held in the silence of waiting. But if we listen carefully, perhaps we can hear the still small voice of Love, whispering to be patient, whispering that Love will Triumph and the Power of the Spirit will be released to Bless the world and all our lives in unseen, unknown, unexpected even unhoped for ways.

Let us wait then in Hope and anticipation. Let us listen for Love. Amen
