The Inner Wisdom of Timing

Is it possible to miss opportunities that come our way? Of course it is. But it's also possible that the reason we miss them is because we're not ready within. Some opportunities come around once in a lifetime, but God repeatedly gives us the chance to start over, begin anew, go the next level. God is not like us. God gives us repeated chances to get it right. "Behold I stand at the door and knock," says the Holy One. Aren't you glad that God knocks repeatedly?

Think about the timing when certain things fell apart or when others things came together in your life. Had you been in your mid-20's instead of being in your late 30's when you discovered that your last boyfriend couldn't find it in himself to make a commitment to you, you may have lingered in the relationship longer, hoping, wishing, thinking something was wrong with you, trying to make him feel something he didn't feel. But you were older, you knew better, and you knew you deserved better.

A few years back you may have been too frightened to step out and start your own business, but after 20 years of making lots of money for someone else you know you have what it takes to make money under your own logo. A decade ago you would not have picked up a book on spiritual readiness. But today you can't read enough about reinventing yourself.

It must be God.

Recall some times in your past when timing made all the difference in the world to the fortuitous way things turned out in your life.

One of the things I've come to believe (although usually as hindsight!) is that God's timing is exquisite. My life is full of examples of that, even though I don't always believe it at the time.

This is so hope filled. It just makes me think that even though I may not see it now God has a plan and in hindsight I will see His work in me and my life. So even if things aren't good right now they will be in God's time. And also, get in touch with God so you can be prepared to hear Him when he tells you it is your time.

great message but right now I feel stuck and I am in my early 30's. I want to begin anew but something is holding me back.

What you wrote is so true! And I can't believe you wrote it on my would have been 27th anniversary.

I was married and divorced at a very young age. I chose to leave the marriage and my heart behind along with our two children.

I traveled across the country and married again. I lost my second husband to a work accident and was left with 2 more children to raise on my own.

I had several relationships but nothing serious for a few years. Then I met and married a man that had never been married and did not have any children. We were happy as I thought we could be for a few years. However, I felt there was always something missing. Ten years ago we moved back to my home town. I really believe we loved each other and still do. We were married 16 years and he decided to go find what was missing and left. I don't blame him. I thank him because I never would have had the courage to leave. Of course I was devistated at the time, but out of what I thought was such a tragedy bloomed something more beautiful than I could ever imagine.

I met up with my first husband and his second wife departed a month before my husband departed. They had been married nearly 20 years.

I feel like from the time I left...25 years ago until that day last August when we saw each other and talked...that I was on a journey back to be with him...

I really do thank God every day for the opportunity just to get to know him all over again. I feel blessed and lucky all at the same time.

Sorry for going on and on...but I just wanted to share a part of my story...because it relates so well to the Inner Wisdom of Timing
