The Wedding Wait: How Patience (and Jesus) Stole the Show
Ah, weddings. The love, the vows, the fancy clothes, and the inevitable question: When’s it your turn? Recently, I had the joy of witnessing my close friend tie the knot. After years of watching them navigate the rollercoaster of relationships, they finally found the one. And let me tell you, it wasn’t just love that made this day special—it was patience and God’s impeccable timing.
You see, my friend didn’t rush into the first available “I do.” Nope. They waited, endured awkward dating phases, sat through lonely seasons, and probably thought, “Jesus, you do remember I’m still here, right?” But here’s the thing—Jesus wasn’t just delaying the blessing. He was preparing the perfect match, refining both of their hearts. (Kind of like marinating a good steak—takes time, but it’s so worth it!)
In our impatience, we tend to want things on our timeline. We want the fast food version of love: quick, easy, and ready to consume. But God’s not into drive-thrus. He’s all about gourmet meals—slowly prepared, with every detail considered. Trust me, it’s worth the wait.
So, if you’re out there waiting for your wedding day (or let’s be real—just waiting for life to make sense), remember this: Jesus is the ultimate wedding planner. He’s not late; He’s working on something extraordinary, with all the details in place. And when it happens, you’ll be saying, “Wow, Jesus, you really do have good taste.”
Until then, enjoy the appetizers. The main course is coming!
Growing Daily with Grace,
