God is not bound by time, nor is our story. We desperately want our situation to be solved. We want resolution. But, God unfolds the plot in His own time. It is in our months or years of waiting that our story comes to maturity. It is over a lifetime of stories that he turns our desire toward Him.
In "To Be Told: Know Your Story, Shape Your Future," author Dan B. Allender emphasizes that God operates outside the constraints of time, allowing our stories to unfold uniquely. While we often crave immediate solutions to our problems and seek quick resolutions, it is crucial to understand that God's timeline differs from ours. Our patience during prolonged waiting periods is essential for our growth and the maturation of our narratives.
Allender suggests that the challenges we face over the years contribute to a deeper understanding and relationship with God. As we navigate life’s ups and downs, our desires gradually shift toward Him. This journey of storytelling highlights the importance of faith and patience as we allow God to shape our experiences and guide our future paths.
