In some way, we're all waiting for something, be it someone or some event or some gift or some promotion. We're all waiting for something, and we invest countless hours thinking about how receiving that thing will change our lives. We spend much of our lives waiting, and it's so easy to invest so deeply in what we're waiting for that we can miss out on our current lives!
In the meantime, we're also waiting for God's Kingdom to come in fullness, and as we wait, we do so with such anticipation, such joy, that it should enrich our lives now, because it's active waiting. The joy we have in knowing that God's Kingdom will come, the confidence in knowing that all things will be set right, should prevent us from despair and give us hope that we can share, knowledge that we don't have to cling to what we have but can rather spread our blessings to others. The hope we have as we wait for the good news allows us to spread the good news while we wait!
As we wait, we can break forth into singing now, that the world may be enriched as we wait, as we love, as we serve.
