while forgetting that he on the other hand doesn’t
have the capacity to manage the car. The mother
who was only human said yes because he doesn’t
want the boy to cry. The boy kept pointing on all
the cars that drove pass calling it his own while we
all laughed at him. Our heavenly father though He
is the possessor of heaven and earth yet He won’t
answer such request because of his undying love
for his sons because he knows the car can kill that
son soon. He will rather take his time to grow the
son, training him on how to profit with the car for
several years until the son is qualified to manage
it well as we could see in this story.
And it came to pass that when Jesus was
returned, the people gladly return, the people
gladly received him, for they were all waiting for
Him Luke 8:40
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve
years, which had spent all her living upon
physicians neither could be healed of any. Came
behind Him, and touch the border of his garment:
and immediately her issue of blood
stanched...Daughter, be of good comfort: thy
faith hath made thee whole, go in peace. Luke
8:43-48
Among the multitude who was desperately
waiting for Jesus was the woman with the issue of
blood. They were only able to receive him with joy
because their desperate hearts have been fully
prepared to receive him. This woman waited for
twelve years because she had been looking to the
wrong people for help all those years. She had
spent all her living on earthly physicians neglecting
the heavenly physician. She couldn’t be healed of
any of them. Her delay was caused by herself. The
day she got the understanding of chasing after
Jesus with all heart, everything changes.
Impatience is actually the cause of delay in many
lives. Their inability to wait for the fullness of
God’s time to come. Just like Mary the mother of
Jesus taught it was time for God to help in
supplying the finished wine in that marriage at the
Canaan of Galilee, but Jesus didn’t help until he
got the signal from His heavenly father that it was
time to help out. No matter the number of times
you fast and pray for that seeming need in your
life, God won’t grant you until he knows that you
can handle it. he won’t give you what will kill you
because He loves you. Patience is one of the fruits
of the spirit we must constantly bear. We must be
followers of those who through faith and patience
obtain the promise.
I must confess I have always been intrigued about
the story of that man at the pool of Bethesda, who
has had the infirmity for thirty-eight years and had
been waiting for the moving of the water. Why did
Jesus heal only him amidst the crowd of impotent
folks at that pool and at some other times in the
scripture He healed all that came to him. John 5:1-
15, Luke 4:40. I believe it was the fullness of time
