December 14

“It shall be said in that day, Behold our God upon Whom we have waited and hoped, that He might save us! This is the Lord, we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.” Isaiah 25:9 (AMPC)

Most of us do not like waiting, especially for things we are not looking forward to, or longings we hope for, but have not yet arrived.  Acceptance, approval, recognition, favour—friendships, fellowship, love and belonging—to name just a few. 

However, your loving God, Who knows you as no one ever has, or ever will, is truly your salvation song; your healing and hope; and, joy of His heart, He is already here! He sees you for who you are, and He loves what He sees.  His approval is already granted. His acceptance assured.

You have a place to belong in Him, that no one can give you, and no one can take away. When others do not see, understand, or know your heart, He knows what that feels like, for He has been misunderstood and misrepresented, just like you.  

Jesus, your Beloved Saviour and Glorious King, left His place of belonging, in the bosom of the Father’s love, to come and find you, so that where they are, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—in perfect fellowship, belonging, and love—you can be too.

The wait is over, dear heart, and the richness of the Kingdom of heaven, has come near!  Watch how His plans for you unfold in the most glorious ways.  Rejoice and be glad, trust and believe. He has you secure in His love, and knows exactly what to do!
