I'll give it time, I'll give it space,

and be still for a spell.

When its time to walk that road

we wanna walk it well.

These simple four lines of Brooke Fraser's "Love is Waiting" have been stuck in my head for weeks.

Ive learnt that being 'still' is actually a beautiful place to be in.

The beautiful thing about this snippet of song is that it can be applied to anything. Waiting is hard. Dont I know it.

God's concept of time is completely opposite to our own. Most of the time, we're looking at a week, month, maybe a year of our life, while God's looking at....a lifetime. And we dont often see that until we stop...and are still for a bit. Often the things we are waiting for are things (or at least memories of) that we'll have for the rest of our time on earth. But we want it now. Always now. When we're still, we have time to see that not having whatever it is now, will actually make having it so much more beautiful when the time fits.

Being still these past few weeks, and waiting on God has made me totally refocus (of course, thats never a bad thing!). Its made me calmer, something I didnt think would happen. And its given me patience, knowing that its worth the wait, and in comparison to eternity, its coming soon.
