There is never a better time than right now.
Do you ever go to the beach for a week long vacation and the entire time you've been thinking about this vacation, there is one thing you want and that is a perfect sunny day with no wind? (maybe that's just me) But I often feel whenever I have been on vacation, most days are windy, there might be a couple rain showers thrown in there and next thing you know it's time to fly home and you didn't get that perfect sunny day that you wanted to so bad.
I believe that a lot of the time, we wait for the perfect time to really commit to Christ. Or we might try and wait for the perfect time and place for personal Bible reading. When it comes to our relationship with Christ if we wait for the perfect time, we will never begin anything. If we wait for the perfect church, we will never join. If we wait for the perfect ministry, we will never serve. If we wait for the perfect small group, we will never find it.
Whoever watches the wind will not plant;
whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.
(Ecclesiastes 11:4)
Think about the beach vacation example for a second here...If you never got the dream beach day you wanted did that affect your trip? Or did you still make the most of it? You probably made the most of it! You most likely still got burnt, still got to swim in the ocean, still made memories, etc. If you would've sat inside and waited you would've missed out on memories that could last a life time.
Too often we make the most of every situation besides our relationship with God. If you guys keep waiting for the perfect time to really get things going it's never going to happen...It's time to start today. Having a relationship with Christ and believing that Jesus died for our sins is the only way you are going to live for all of entreaty with God in heaven.
Please stop waiting for perfection, there is no better time than now.
