The Wait

It amazes me the beauty that is found in waiting. The treasure is only found deep in the wait. It takes perseverance and patience that can’t be made up or imagined. You have to find these things in the one who calls you to wait. Waiting isn’t endured by keeping yourself busy on random things, but it is endured by engaging with The Lover of your soul. When you fix your eyes into His flaming eyes of love, you enter into His presence and into a world of glorious beauty. No longer are you thinking about the wait, but you are engaged, you are fixated on the marvelous wonder of the Lover of your soul. Your mind is seeing and hearing into His mind, your heart is beating to the rhythm of His heart. You are now in a communion with the Lover of your soul, and now you can dance. You dance to heavenly harmonies and beats your soul has never heard before. Your heart continues to melt from the liquid love that He is pouring into it. Your body’s sensitivity is heightened, not physically but spiritually. For this moment your body gets a taste of what heaven feels like; a foreshadow of the new heavenly bodies that is promised to His bride. Minutes feels like days, hours like centuries, but the taste of His goodness feels like eternity.

                You sit and you soak, you dance and you sing, you laugh and you smile, you play and you cry with joy. A well is being built; it goes deeper with each encounter, deeper with each moment of a heavenly experience. A well so deep it has no end, filled with living water; water for you to drink and others to taste. But this well is a secret and sacred well. A well made from love, a well that only lovers can make and share. It was created from love and nurtured by love. The source of the water is from rivers of living water directly from the throne of grace, the place where sons and daughters go, the place where life is lived.

                When you follow this river and come face to face with the One sitting on the throne of grace- the precious mercy seat, you have found the treasure. You have found the very thing that draws you to wait. This person is the reason for the wait. Waiting becomes beautiful when you encounter the well and living waters, and come to the One sitting on the heavenly throne. Now the adventure begins, now the wait has meaning and produces fruit, now you can live.
