I want to share a realization that hit me while I was in my garden few hours ago.
I love tending to my plants because as a chef I love "farm to pot". I have papaya trees all over my garden, and I have been looking forward to the harvesting because they are of big sizes now.
But these papaya has been lingering for months, refusing to ripen.
As I stood close to one now,looking at it, I whispered to myself, so you don't want to ripe now that I'm around.
But then I heard a gentle whisper in my spirit.
'There are times and seasons. Ecclesiastes 3.1.
It struck me that just like this papaya, we often try to force things to happen before their time.
We might try to ripen our circumstances, relationships, or opportunities prematurely, but that can lead to disappointment and harm.
When we force things to happen before their season, we end up 'harvesting' what's not ripe and not healthy for our destiny.
But what if we trust the season? What if we allow things to unfold in their own time?
The papaya will ripen when it's ready, and I'll be able to pluck it effortlessly.
Trusting in the season and timing of our lives can be challenging, but it's very important for our growth and maturity.
Please dearest friend I'm reminding us to trust in God's timing and plan. Rather than trying to force things to happen prematurely.
Sometimes,just like these papaya needs time to ripen.we need to step back, let things unfold, and trust that when the season comes, everything will fall into place.
Let's learn to trust the season and allow ourselves to ripen in God's perfect timing.
