I stopped waiting.

I was online, a regular Saturday evening, relaxing but waiting impatiently for someone to come online.

I waited for long, very long.

Then i decided to send a message to the person to notify that I am waiting for them, in the form of an image or something. I searched 'am waiting for you' on the internet and while i browsed through and came to the first result; it was a video saying 'I am waiting for you' and I thought it would be just the usual boring love songs you often stumble upon.  I looked into the description and spotted the word 'God' somewhere in the middle and I immediately opened it without a second thought.

I wanted to go to God, I was tired waiting, i needed rest.

Then the video played, it was an instrumental, with lyrics scrolling by. As I watched, I put God in the place of a human, and imagined Him in the same state that I am in and telling me 'I'm waiting for you'. I realized.... someone is waiting for me, and waiting for long, longer than I could ever know.

So I stopped waiting... and decided to write this post :)

The song was beautiful, started with a note about the return of the prodigal son, then it had many beautiful verses about God's concern and affection for me. At the end of the 3 minute video, I felt that my wait has meet its desired end. I am satisfied that my wait ended in this happiness of closeness with God.

So i wanna tell everyone to stop waiting, because there is no reason to wait when God has all the time in the world to respond to us the very next millisecond we raise a need to talk to Him. Why wait for something else when you can always receive something better with no wait. Have you heard of a fairer deal?
