Advent approaches. It is the season of anticipation and waiting the 4 weeks before Christmas. William Brown says that "'Waiting for God' is no passive endeavor; it involves painful longing and bold allegiance, in short, a passionate patience'"
So what are you waiting for? Not just your average, everyday waiting, but that deep longing? This kind of waiting is often painful. I can think of things I yearn to see in my life and the life of loved ones. I have deep longings for the nation and world.
Maybe another way of asking the question, is what keeps you up at night. Maybe that's the best time to identify that deep longing, that passionate patience in your life.
