How come that there are people who love GOD and worship him and yet do not believe that HE can do amazing things in their lives? Have you seen people pray and raise their hands in church but when you start to speak with them and encourage them; their mouths speak doubts or uncertainties. Their reactions revealed the unbelief in their hearts. It may seem funny but for me it’s not.
A lady told me, “You don’t understand what I’m going through because you are still young.” (Ouch yun ha?) “You wait until you reach my age and you will understand what I’m telling you.” Hello? You just prayed, right? After that conversation, I really prayed to GOD and asked HIM that I don’t want to reach her age with bitterness in my heart just because of waiting in HIS timing. (hehe… blessing in disguise yung conversation). But hey, I’m also waiting on the LORD. I know people who are also waiting patiently but they are all excited on what GOD can do.
Waiting on GOD takes time. I know it’s hard and it takes a lot of faith. I understand because I experience it myself. But the Bible says in Isaiah 40:31, “Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
When you feel like waiting doesn’t make sense anymore, just go back to HIS word and to everything HE has told you. Know that times of waiting on HIM can be the most precious moments in your life. Yes, with all honesty. I may be young but I can already say with conviction in my heart that MY GOD is all powerful and faithful in HIS words. GOD will surely do what he has promised (1 Thessalonians 5:24).
Are you still surprised when GOD answers your prayer? Don’t be. Don't pray without believing. Give your dreams to GOD and expect HIM to fulfill those dreams. When GOD asks you to adjust your life to what you are praying then do it without delay. When God asks you to wait, then wait, when jump, then jump, when stop, then stop, when go, then go. How would you know if it’s from GOD? Wait. Listen. Read HIS word.
I believe that GOD is more than happy to reveal HIS plan in your life. Believe when you pray. Expect HIM to answer. The world may laugh at you because of your childlike faith, but just go on, so you won’t miss the joy of praying in faith when GOD already respond to your request.

Malulupit na quotes ni BOB Ong:
** Lahat naman ng tao sumeseryoso pagtinamaan ng pagmamahal. Yun nga lang, hindi lahat matibay para sa temptasyon.
** Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang taong malapit sayo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo.
** Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawakan ng iba.
** Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang.
** Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na.
** Kung maghihintay ka lang ng lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din..

Love cannot always be measured by how long you wait. It's about how well you understand why you are waiting.
