He’s waiting.  I keep expecting God to show up in a manner that answers my quiet prayers, but all that He keeps repeating is that He is waiting.  Lord, I see in Your Word that there have often been conditions upon blessings or promises that You have made known to the world.  I am sorry that I have been naive to the conditions of my repentance, purity, growth, understanding, obedience and change.  You have wanted me to become a new creature for so long and have been waiting for me to step forward to accept the blessing that You have reserved for me but I have either been oblivious or obstructive.  Please forgive me.  I know that I cannot earn my way into heaven for my salvation is provided through Grace alone, but I certainly have prohibited the blessings that may have been bestowed through my non compliant behavior and attendance to sin.  Please take these remaining icons, idols and squirreled sins from me as I was obviously hoping to keep one foot in the old life, while seeking sanctification.

Father this world is running out of energy.  Entropy is occurring before our very eyes, proof of sorts that this world was originally given only so much energy before winding down.  The mistake we have always made is assuming that so much energy, matter and precious life, mystery and majesty could come from nothing.  Nothing only begets nothing.  Life without God is impossible, life away from God is corruption in perpetuity.  Me imagining God does not make me an ontological genius, nor does it validate God’s existence.  God exists whether or not I exist or believe.  Belief is the condition that He has set for us to be redeemed of sin.  Bail has been set and that bail simply requires belief, repentance and transformation to keep us permanently safe from the judgment we deserve but gloriously also makes us joint heirs with Christ in the majesty of eternity, God and heaven.  God is waiting for me to comprehend and comply with what He has known and been saying all along.

He is also waiting in the most exquisite display of patience in the history of the universe for all of humanity to come to Him and be saved from judgment.  Even those who have disobeyed, mocked, committed the most despicable crimes or flat out disbelieved to wake up, repent, believe on Jesus Christ and come to Him.  He is giving us every possible minute of history to make that decision and patiently forestalling His wrath against wickedness so that all may have every opportunity to come to the same realization.  What a wonderful God.  I thank you Father for setting this wonderful example of love, patience, long suffering, mercy and generosity.  Praise Your Holy Name, we do not deserve such sacrifice.  I am humbled to be in Your service.  Jesus Come Sweet Jesus, but if you must wait Lord please let them come to You and be saved.  Bless all the world with the knowledge of God so that they may be made anew.
