“He that can have Patience, can have what he will.”
Benjamin Franklin
Our timing is definitely not divine timing I've noticed! Have you ever felt impatient with life and felt things were not happening as you would like? That's a rhetorical question by the way!!
There are times when I get so frustrated with something and being a Practitioner of Science of Mind I have to remind myself that there is an order at the back of all things. If life is not unfolding exactly to my plan I try to remember there is probably a better way that I am unaware of and I need to just have faith. I don't always know what is in my best interest from the center of my little world. There is usually a perspective I cannot see.
When I was single I wanted so much to be part of a couple and finally came to really appreciate that single state and remember it's benefits; there's no one to answer to or consider in my decision making process, less compromising and more time to myself. I used to tell myself enjoy this because the time will come when you will be in a relationship and that state has its benefits too but they are not the ones you have now. And at the right time for me in my growth and development I met my husband.
Yes it all worked out for the best but I know it can be challenging to be patient and remember what is best for us is unfolding. When I became aware that impatience is a lack of faith I made a greater effort to align with what is and trust in divine timing.
I am constantly tested but I am much less reactionary now when things don't seem to be going the way I think they should. I've seen that what is right for me will not go by me, that what I thought was right for me paled in comparison with what transpired in time.
So release your small ideas of control today and as Ralph Waldo Emerson says, get your bloated nothingness out of the way! Let Spirit work through you in divine right order and time and be prepared to be more than pleasantly surprised.
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
