THE GIFT

3 days before Christmas
…a big gift sat below the Christmas tree
…I couldn’t wait to open it
…Mom would persuade me to wait for Christmas eve
…I find myself asking her, is this the one I like?,
....the one you promised to buy for me?
…may I open it? Just a peek? Please?
…I guess most of us have experienced this as a child
Few weeks before my nth birthday, I found myself in the same stage. During my daily talk with God, He has promised me “a Gift”. For all women, we know what it is…yes! I’m talking about God’s best (man) for our lives.
God has promised that he will come and He will not delay. God has promised that He will do what is pleasing in His eyes. I got so excited. I presented him my list (just like our list and description of what we requested from Mom and Dad for our Christmas gifts).
With this promise, I kept on asking God, “Kelan Lord?..Does he look like this? Does he laugh like that? Is he good at this sport? Will he make me laugh? “ And on and on I asked Him.
I was anxious like the child I was.
It was only few weeks ago that I realized how I have not fully trusted God about “the gift”. Remembering my mom and dad, when I would describe to them what I want for Christmas, they would always get something more than whatever I imagined. For that matter, the more that I have to trust God. He knows me completely and He knows what’s best for me..so He knows who to pick and when to unravel the gift right in front of my eyes. I trust that He will give me more that I ever imagined if I just wait on Him.
