YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH DELAYS, YET YOU'RE STILL HERE!
You've endured enough delays, yet you're still here. I have a question for you: How did you do it?
If you're reading this, it's proof that you've faced delays. Yes, you have; you've experienced delays. I'm glad you can't remember because that means you've moved past that phase of your life. But I have a question for you: how did you do it? Maybe you're currently experiencing a form of delay, or a delay is likely to happen in the coming weeks, months, or years. I have a question for you: how did you manage to stay alive, knowing you were experiencing a delay and that you will likely experience one in the near future?
Do you recall the waiting you once endured? Waiting at the bus stop for the bus, waiting for the teacher or lecturer to arrive in class, waiting for your parents to give you what you asked for, waiting for your employer to pay you, waiting to have a baby, waiting for someone to say "I love you," waiting for customers, and so on. Do you remember those moments of anticipation?
Perhaps not anymore. You've moved beyond that phase and those hours of waiting. The question is, how did you manage it?
Our lives are comprised of countless moments of waiting and delays, yet here we are today. Have you ever wondered how we made it through all those waiting hours and eventually arrived at where we are now? The answer is found in the one who upholds all things, the Lord Jesus. He connected the dots for us, and now, we can't even remember those annoying, sad, and questionable delays.
If you look closely, you will notice that all the delays you've experienced didn't stop you. Yes, you might have missed out on a lot of things, but from where you are now, still having life in you, especially the life of Jesus, it's as if you never experienced any delay. Let me tell you, someone worked with those delays to ensure that you have the level of success you have today and will continue to have in life.
His name is Jesus!
