RIGHT TIMING

 

God has made everything appropriate to its time, but has put the timeless into their hearts… – Ecclesiastes 3:11

 

For the past two years, I’ve been helping Bo Sanchez with his One True Love Club (onetrueloveclub.com). This online membership gives its subscribers a wealth of resources to help them find and wisely choose their lifetime partners.

       One of the regular things I do for the club is to answer the many questions that members have about their love lives. A recent one I got was from a woman in her mid-twenties asking if a guy she had known for barely two weeks was the right one for her.

       I told her that just as you can’t hurry a mango to ripen, so do you need to let love blossom in its own time.

       Technology and our fast-paced life have made us impatient people. Science has found ways to make plants bloom quicker, induce fruit to ripen faster and allow us to travel farther at a shorter time. We want things and we want them right now. We forget that we have to respect time as well as the rhythm and pace of life.

       God’s timing is perfect. After all, He sees the past, present and future in one sweep. All things become beautiful in His time. Rissa Singson-Kawpeng (justbreatherissa@gmail.com)

 

Reflection: “To live your best life now, you must learn to trust God’s timing. You may not think He’s working, but you can be sure that right now, behind the scenes, God is arranging all the pieces to come together to work out His plan for your life.” (Joel Osteen)

 

Lord, teach me the wisdom of waiting upon You. Amen.

 

Sts. Cosmas and Damian, martyrs, pray for us.
