It is hard not to be afraid. It takes energy to stand fast and wait. I hear people talk about waiting as if it were a mindless act. It makes them feel lazy. Lazy?! Are you kidding me? It is exhausting to stand here still, trusting. How can one feel lazy when one has to constantly fight the inward battle of letting go of one's controlling tendencies and allow God to do the work He wants to do.
I feel sad for those who wait and are judged by those who don't. It is hard work indeed to get one's self out of the way AND... stay out!
i've read and reread this so many times just to remind myself to stay out of the way.
