Waiting

"He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him." ~Hebrews 9:28

"Those who are waiting for Him"--again, Scripture references waiting as a necessary phase of life to go through if I desire to see the Lord and all He has for me. He's training me in this in the smaller things so that as I begin to learn and trust the art of waiting with these, I can continue to learn to wait for the ultimate Promise of Jesus' return and eternal life
f o r e v e r  with Him.
He's blessing me with opportunities to practice waiting! Blessing me with no immediate reveal of answers in situations. His coming is not an immediate answer, so true preparation for this shouldn't be either.

Hellooo, new and completely different outlook!

And where does it all point back to?
Jesus, my High Priest! (go read all of Hebrews 8-10...beautiful portrayal of grace!)
