The Season of Advent is
a season of anticipation of the coming of our Lord. It magnifies somehow the
beauty of living in the moment while waiting for what is to come. And for us
Christians, it is a joyful waiting because Jesus whom we are waiting brings joy
and life. It also helps us to reflect on our daily life.
Life is waiting;
expectant parents waiting for there child to be born, children eagerly waiting
for parents coming home, teenagers waiting to become young adults and everyone
waiting to pass on from this life and meet the Lord. In between these are
different forms of waiting, from the mundane to the most important ones.
Waiting for a ride on the way to work, waiting for the time to get off work,
waiting for a yes after months of courtship and so on and so forth.
Waiting does not just purify intentions; it actually shows what our
posture towards the goal we are waiting. Waiting will show our true colour and will reveal inconsistencies in what we believe in.
It takes humility in order to survive waiting because it’s not easy to
wait much more not knowing if it comes at all.
Waiting teaches us to live according to Gods Will and actually enjoy the
journey while what we want is not yet there.
