When Waiting Seems the Hardest

Oh soul, why do you feel hopeless?
Fearful.
Agitated.
Uncertain.

Stop.
It’s the enemy feeding you lies.

Clear your mind.
Return to the center.
Listen.
God speaks.
He whispers words
To soothe your heart,
Comfort your weary soul.

Take a deep breath.
Let go of what you can’t control.
Trust.
Believe.
Do not fret.

Wait.
Patiently,
Purposefully,
Excitedly,
Wait.

The hour may be dark,
Tomorrow may look bleak,
But never for a moment
Doubt when God speaks.
Just wait.

But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
(Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭31‬ NKJV)

Pursue Excellence

There are moments in life when we experience defeat, failure or setback, BUT life doesn’t stop there. That single moment doesn’t define us or who we are as a person. It’s just that, a single moment.

Yes, failure can hurt. BUT there’s more to it. Think of it as a lesson that you have to go through, to prune you, to teach you something, to make you a better person.

Acknowledge the pain BUT don’t stop there. Accept the defeat (hard as it may sound), get back on your feet and move on. There are a lot of doors waiting for you. Do not let a single delay in your plans stop you from becoming the person you have been created to become.

Pursue excellence. Be bold. Be brave. Be strong and courageous. Know who you are and whose you are. You are a child of God. When He says something, He delivers. Focus on Him and not your circumstances and your perspective is going to change. Remember, His time, not yours. 🙂

Do not be afraid to get back on the road and try again. You can do it. You’re born for greatness not mediocrity.

Be blessed and be a blessing. 🙂
