Scripture:- Jeremiah 29:1-11
Topic:- I’m So Sorry For Judging You
I came back from school during the Semester break with a lot of goodies in my bag.
As a Children’s Teacher, I shared it with my kids in Church.
I didn’t give Ruth (my favorite daughter).
The other kids mocked her as they showed her the popcorn and drinks I gave to them.
I noticed her countenance was too bad.
After sharing everything, I looked for her on the Church premises. I couldn’t find her.
I went to their house only to see her crying in the backyard.
I brought out the beautiful shoes I got for her. She smiled.
As tears of Joy filled her eyes, she said something that struck me…
“Miss Precious, I’m so sorry for leaving the Church in anger.
My friends were laughing at me that you forgot me and didn’t bring anything for me.
I felt so bad that after the promises you gave me. You still allowed me to end up in shame.
Aunty please, I’m so sorry for judging you. Thank you for bringing the shoes.”
I hugged her as tears flooded my face too.
I told her, “Daughter, I reserved the best for you that’s why it took me time to bring it out. I sincerely love you.
I know what I was doing all this while. You’re still My favourite. I won’t allow you to be ashamed for trusting me.”
What about you and me? Have you judged God unfaithful like this Young girl?
Maybe you’ve been crying for God to show you Mercy and favour you like what He did for others but it seems God is blind…
I want to encourage your heart today. Please wipe your tears away.
Because you don’t see it now doesn’t mean He’s not bringing it. God’s got beautiful shoes for you.
Jeremiah 29.11 says I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out–plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. (MSB)
John.13.7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” (NIV)
Even if they laugh at you because it seems God is delaying. Still, yet they can’t deny you the beautiful package God’s got for you.
Don’t be afraid. Your answer is on its way.
The story of your testimony will fly across all of the nations.
Maybe you’ve been trusting God for your own wife, husband, child, job, visa, scholarship, admission, land, house, company, car, good health, money, etc but it seems God is taking time to grant your heart desires.
Please hold your ground. Please calm your spirit. God has heard all your cries.
God has not forgotten you. That which He planned for you will shock the world.
He’s too faithful to fail you. He’s capable of fulfilling all His promises.
He will make you smile again.
Please hold on. Please trust God again.
He makes everything beautiful in His own Time.
Prayer Point:-
I command no more tears in your life, and all your long-awaited testimonies shall come forth henceforth, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Happy Lord’s Day! www.timogundelejesu.com
