Are you waiting for something? Results? A promotion? An apology? A new relationship?
Or maybe you’re in the infamous land in between where you are unsure of what God has for you next. Whether it’s good news or the right news we are hoping for, the seasons where we seemingly have no other option but to wait can feel excruciatingly hard.
Stepping outside our own front door to be with people in waiting is an essential part of being the hands and feet of Jesus to a hurting world. Chances are most people you bump shoulders with are waiting for something, or someone. There’s something their mind can’t stop thinking about, and our hope ought to be that they are entrusting whatever that is in the loving and all-knowing hands of Jesus.
I don’t typically like to share a list of dos and don’ts. Life has taught me that while a situation or circumstance may be similar, each person is unique and how something affects them can look wildly different. However, when it comes to walking alongside those who are waiting, there are some helpful things to consider.
