Who’s His princess?
ME!
Or YOU! š
It’s for all of us ladies who are waiting for the right person. Some of us patiently wait. Some of us wait with hope so thin or with anger churning. Sadly, some do not even wait anymore for they have lost faith.
I was one of those princesses who was on the verge of screaming AYOKO NA!!! to God’s face. Kapal ko noh? It was because I didn’t understand. It was because my will was stronger than HIS. To all those who know me and my story, then you know the pain, disappointment, frustration and even depression that I went through. Most of them self imposed. Because like I said, my will was stronger than God’s. It’s only lately that I have come to realize how much He loves me and how it is imperative that I first learn to listen and obey. And that I should really be patient and discerning! Hindi dahil may boylet na nandyan is siya na ‘yon! Maaaaan… I learned this the hard way and up to now, there are still tests thrown my way. I feel that He is indeed checking if I have already changed and if I am ready for His gift aka answered prayer aka fulfilled promise.
Jan, a close friend of mine (one of God’s many perfectly timed gifts to me) shared these letters when I was undergoing another (and quite recent) ANO NA NAMAN BA ITO?! phase in my life.
Read on and I hope your heart will also be touched.
Nakaka-kilig, di’ba? I don’t know about you, basta ako kinilig ako ng bongga that God is preparing the best person for me.
It’s a drag to wait, I know. But if you know in your heart that what you are waiting for is the best, then it will make things lighter. Wait with joy. Use the time to focus on other aspects in your life. Love your family, your friends, your neighbor, your enemies (oo, pati sila!!! working on it!!!) and of course… LOVE GOD! Love our DaddyGod, our Heavenly Father. Para ka na rin hindi naghintay kasi masaya ka. Time flies when you’re having fun, right? Right!
(Maybe you’ve already noticed, I started with me and shifted on YOU! My plan, exactly! Hehe!)
In times that you feel sad, tell Him. Kahit sa mga panahon na galit ka, o nagdududa, talk to Him! Coz seriously, sino pa ba ang makikinig sa iyo without judgment and with absolute understanding? You’re His baby. Magsumbong ka sa Kanya and He will surely protect you with all His might.
I would like to end this entry with a line from author/preacher Max Lucado–
“A woman’s heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.”
My fellow princess, wait on Him. =)

/ September 7, 2012Tama! Dati talaga pikon na pikon ako sa paghihintay. Dami ko talagang issues. Ngayon kang gumaan kasi I’m just letting Him take over. Dapat naman talaga, dati ko pang ginawa. Makulit lang talaga ako. :p

Share ko ‘to:
I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry – Psalm 40:1
God hears us and answers our prayers if we are patient to wait for His timing. We just have to pray unceasingly, and always seek Him. Most importantly we must put Him on top of our priorites, and if we do that, we will delight in His presence while waiting….Sabi nga sa song sa Fireproof “While I’m waiting I will serve you….”
God Bless Iya! š
