Perfect Timing

"When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God." Romans 5:6 says that at JUST THE RIGHT TIME Christ came and died for us sinners. I just saw a post about this today, as i was thinking about timing and how i think God needs to get His timing to match up with mine. GUESS WHAT-it's ME that needs to mold myself to HIS timing, not the other way around. As i think about the things that i want and am waiting for, i get caught up in what i want and if i can have it SOON. Instead, it is important to wait for GOD's timing, because only HE knows when is "just the right time." God has brought people into my life at just the right times. My family surrounds me when i am under attack, and others help when i need some encouragement. Even this past week when i was ready to give up on a dream, in just the right timing God fanned the fire in my heart. i am reminded to stay true to who i am and what my dreams are. I will not change for a man. i will not let you tell me that i am not worthy. God has sent His OWN SON to die for me--THAT's how worthy i am.  I do not fit your mold, but that doesn't mean i'm a failure. i only fail when i live for myself instead of the One who died for me. Thanks for coming at "just the right time," Jesus. i love you. thank you for sending me my friends and family at just the right times. please bless them and keep them safe for Your kingdom. I used to say "keep them safe for me," but i have come to understand that YOU love them more than i could. so i now pray that You keep them safe for Yourself. Keep us on the straight n narrow so that when You return in Your perfect timing, we are ready to join you. We love you.
