RE: Take Your Time. Contributed by @Olawalium
Because the finish line is still far ahead, maybe you think you can never reach it. Never occurred to the head: the current situation is actually more comfortable than your previous position.
At least, even if the struggle is not over, you are no longer in the "just beginning" level. All you have to do, maybe, is just enjoy the journey. Imagine yourself in a bus to the finish line, and you can look out the window, watching the scene. This journey will make you mature. And if you have the patience to sit neatly on a chair, one day you too will reach the awaited finish.
Life is not a running competition. There is no medal that you will get when you first reach the finish line than the friend on the side. It's okay if you need more time than your friends to do something. More time to find a partner who can fill the heart. More time to complete the final project or thesis. Because this is not about who is the fastest. It's about who will survive in the most unfriendly circumstances.
No need to worry that you will never approach the finish line. Actually, you're still on a sweet journey. Try to enjoy it while you can, no deadlines that force you to score achievements in the shortest possible time. Life is too good to be rushed. No one requires you to be in time.
If you ask why God did not give you what you asked for, remember that he has his own watch. And He is always on time, as long as you are steadfast in believing. He will show you his plan, someday. Stay promising, the journey to this end line will not betray you.
Wooooooooooòw!. This is deep and good. Thank you so much for this. Really nice.
Taking our time is everything and trusting God to work things out for us too is so vital. Delay doesn't mean we would never get it. Maybe that is just God's way of telling us to take our time and when we rush it, we go three steps back, more worse than we should. We should endeavour to take our time. Our finish lines are different, so we shouldn't measure and compete with another.
Thanks a lot once again.
