Isa sa mga pinakamahirap na gawin sa mundong ito ay ang maghintay. Gusto natin sa isang iglap lang, nasa atin na ang isang bagay. Kaya naman patok na patok sa mga tao ang technology because it makes everything faster than ever.
Syempre, hindi matatawag na paghihintay ang isang bagay kung wala namang hinihintay. Ano-ano nga ba ang hinihintay ng karamihan? Marahil ito ay isang bagay na gustong gusto nating makuha, isang pangyayari na inaasam-asam o taong matagal ng hinihintay. Relate much?
Hangang-hanga ako sa mga nangingibang bansa noon dahil napakatiyaga nilang maghintay hindi lang sa end of contract ng kanilang trabaho maging sa paghihintay ng sulat galing sa kanilang mga minamahal. Yung tipong nagpadala ka ng Heart's day card on February 14 sa pamamagitan ng snail mail, tapos sa isang buwan o sa ikalawa pa darating. Minsan, ito ay nadi-delay pa. Ngunit kapag natanggap naman, hanep pa din sa sayang nadarama. Yun yung tinatawag na "it's worth the wait".
Well, aminin man natin o hindi, we tend to rush everything in many other ways. Tandaan, kapag ang isang pakwan biniyak at kinain ng hindi pa hinog, hindi ito matamis at hindi masarap. Hindi na din ito nakakaenjoy kainin. Ganun din kapag pinipilit ang mga bagay na hindi pa napapanahon, gumugulo ang sitwasyon. Hindi na tuloy masaya."Life is a series of waiting", according to Ms. Beng Alba, the editor of my writing mentor. Everyday, we wait. But what should be our attitude toward waiting? Tingnan natin ang example ni Abraham. Dahil siya ay matiyagang naghintay, natanggap niya ang ipinangako sa kanya (Hebreo 6:15). It's about WAITING PATIENTLY.
Ngunit, dahil nga karamihan sa atin ay mainipin, many times, we try to control things. We try to control situations and the people around us to get what we want. And when the outcome is not good, we complain to God. Sinisisi pa ang Diyos kahit tayo ang may gawa. But now, it's time to be patient. We can't control everything. Only God can, so let Him. Dahil kapag si Lord ang kumikilos sa ating buhay, laging sakto. He is ALWAYS on time.
Kung ano man ang iyong hinihintay, I encourage you to wait upon the Lord first. Wait on His answer. And when He tells you what to do, wait on His timing. And when it's time, take action and He will give it to you.
Here's poem made by a friend that exactly told what the feeling of waiting is and the thing that must do about it. Check it out. =)
Waiting
Waiting
by Scarlett
I don't know how much I can hold it
I don't know how much I can bear
But I know I will have it
And it doesn't matter where
Self-control is what I can do
Patience is what I can show
What I stand is that it is worth it
And it's all I know
I will not rush until the time is ripe
No matter how I endure
It is His time that's always right
It's my motive He makes pure
I don't know how much I can hold it
I don't know how much I can bear
But I know I will have it
And it doesn't matter where
Self-control is what I can do
Patience is what I can show
What I stand is that it is worth it
And it's all I know
I will not rush until the time is ripe
No matter how I endure
It is His time that's always right
It's my motive He makes pure
