Isulat mo ito sapagkat hindi pa panahon upang ito ay maganap. Ngunit mabilis na lilipas ang panahon, at mangyayari ang ipinakita ko sa iyo. Bagama’t parang mabagal ito, hintayin mo. Tiyak na mangyayari at hindi maaantala ito.

Habakuk 2:3

May mga panalangin na mabilis sagutin ni Lord. Kakahingi mo lang nandiyan na kaagad, at meron din na kailangang hintayin nang matagal bago makuha. Mabilis man o hindi ang pagsagot ni Lord, sure tayo that He has an answer. Yes, no, or wait man ang sagot, asahan mong hindi Siya nakakalimot. He’ll give His best answer, and more often than not, it’s only a matter of time.

Dalawang magkaibigan ang nagkumustahan. Chard shared to Ali na may bago siyang trabaho. Twelve years siyang nagwork sa isang company at akala niya ay doon na siya magre-retire. Pero ang naging plot twist, nag-pray siya kay Lord na sana magkaroon siya ng job na may work-life balance with good compensation. Sinubukan niyang mag-apply sa ibang industry at sino bang mag-aakala na his 12 years of experience became the reason  kaya na-hire siya.

Ali was very happy for Chard. Sabi niya, “Masaya ako para sa iyo; answered prayer ka kaagad!” And Chard replied, “Ngayon mabilis ang sagot, pero naalala mo ba na after graduation, three years ako naghintay bago magkaroon ng stable job?” From that statement Ali realized how God has truly blessed Chard. Sabi niya sa kaibigan, “I’m blessed by your story. Alam mo ba na nagpe-pray ako para sa career na  meron ka ngayon, and today I felt na sinagot na rin ako ni Lord. By faith, it’s only a matter of time.”

 

Ali was truly inspired by how God moved in Chard’s life. Alam niyang sinadya ni Lord na marinig niya ang kuwento na ’yun to assure her that her own time will come. May personal relationship siya kay Lord, kaya she strongly believes that it is God’s will for her to wait and trust God. If God can do it for her friend, by faith she knows that God can also bless her in the same way.
