THE DISCIPLINE OF WAITING: Waiting is hard. We wait in grocery lines, in traffic, in the doctors office. We twiddle our thumbs, stifle our yawns, and fret inwardly in frustration. We wait for our hearts desire. It is the mystery of educating human spirits to the finest temper of which they are capable. Through the discipline of waiting, we can develop the quieter virtues--submission, humility, patience, joyful endurance, persistence in well-doing--virtues that take the longest to learn. What do we do when God seems to withhold our hearts desire? He is able to help us to love and trust Him enough to accept the delay with joy and to see it as an opportunity to develop these virtues--and to Praise Him. Have Thine Own Way, Lord! Have Thine Own Way! Thou art the Potter, I am the clay; Mold me and make me after Thy Will, While I am waiting, yielded and still. WAITING FOR GOD IS NEVER A WASTE OF TIME!!!
