My Dear Sister,

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. - Ecclesiastes 3:11

When God says “it’s time,” no one and no thing can possibly come in between. Why? Because God is faithful. From beginning to end, He is constant and His love is continuous. He is so mighty that we cannot comprehend all that He is capable of…so that’s why, when He says “it’s time,” it’s the right time.

So until that door opens for whatever it is you’re waiting for, trust that He has you waiting for a reason. In this season, hold onto Jesus with all you have. He is your strength. He is all you need. Accept His reign in your life even when you don’t understand why you’re having to wait, accept the season you’re in, because in the same way that we accept that autumn leaves don’t fall from trees in the spring, and winter’s snow doesn’t fall from the sky in summer, we must accept that the season that God has placed us in is right, because it’s where He wants us.

So if it’s time for the branches to break, it’s time for the branches to break. If it’s time for the flowers to grow, it’s time for the flowers to grow. What God says it was goes. Even when it comes to relationships, remember that:

1. You’re not missing out on life because you’re single

It doesn’t matter how many happy couples you see, God wants you to live for Him today! You don’t need a boyfriend to feel like you’ve arrived. You “arrived” when you accepted Jesus in your heart!

2. You don’t have to worry about the one who is not pursuing you

If a guy claims to be interested in you, but can’t seem to be intentional about you, there’s no need for you to spend all your time waiting to hear from him. When God says “it’s time” for you, it will be time for YOU. When God sends a man in your life who is willing to pursue you in a godly way, you won’t have to chase him down!

God’s timing is everything. Wait on it. Accept that He REALLY knows what He is doing!

When you feel isolated and lonely, consider that God may be trying to teach you that we can trust He will never truly leave us alone.

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)

When you feel heartbroken, consider that God may be trying to teach you what it means to fully rely on His strength and perfect will.

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

When you feel like your future is going nowhere, consider that God may be growing you for the next season of your life in which you would never experience without the growth process first.

“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” (John 15:2)

When you feel hopeless, consider that God may be trying to show you He gives us eternal hope, which outweighs the temporary hope this world offers us.

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

The point is, God can teach us in every situation of our lives… we need only to be open to learning what that is.
