a patience to be patient

I am a "now-child" living in an "instant-life" in which, we can eat noodles in 3-minutes, we can send mail in second, I can phone someone no matter where he is, I can make coffee in 2-minutes, and I want things quickly be done. I want it NOW, without a thing called WAITING!

(in every of my desperation, I always imagine myself
sitting in a bench with God sitting next to me
 whom I can chat with and feel relieved)

Then, I grow up impatiently......

Those days of troubles, I complain to God for no solutions, for no answers right away, for none of His presence I can embrace. Until in desperation, I mumble for, "Dear God, what took it so long for this pain go away, what took You so long answering my questions, why is it so difficult for me to hug You just to ensure myself that You're existed!!!" ...... The more Why, What, When, Who, Where, and How that I want to ask Him... the farther away my relations toward Him.

Until the day, my auntie made her call, she told me to read a passage of bible, she said, "Dear, God answers your worries even decades ago before you raise those questions, why should we complaining?!"

Then I read the daily bible reading on May 14, 2011 entitled "Patience to be Patient", from Psalm 130: 1-8 'I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope.' Here I can say, many prayers in the Bible come out of the act of waiting. Jacob waited 7 years for a wife and then worked 7 more after being tricked by her father. Israelities waited 4 centuries for deliveriance. Now, I pray for the patience to endure times of trial, to keep anticipating, keep hoping, keep believing. I pray for patience to be patient. (By Philip Yancey)

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, thay shall walk and not faint. - isaiah 40:31-
