The Eyes of All Look Up

📝Reflection

The phrase "in its season" is the heart of this verse. What is needed does come, but not at the time I want — at its own proper time. Look at nature: fruit does not ripen faster for being rushed. However much we long for spring, it does not skip winter. I always wanted things right now, treating waiting as a loss. But what I seized half-ripe usually went wrong. When you trust that things come in their season, impatience turns into trust. Instead of resenting what has not come, knowing it is simply not yet the season — that plain trust changed waiting into something bearable, and then into something calm.
