Wait Here

I was just thinking this morning about how Jesus left the 99 sheep and went after the 1 that was lost. I imagine if a shepherd were talking to the sheep, he would have told them "wait here". Have you ever been somewhere and somebody told you to wait ,they were coming back? I was thinking about how impatient I get and how sometimes instead of waiting, I run off. I thought about the sheep, imagine if they had wandered off. The same is true of Jesus our shepherd. He has told us to wait here, He`s coming back. Some of us He comes for a little sooner than others,but in the meantime we still must wait. I remember reading about the prodigal son, he didn't want to wait and look at the mess he created. There have been times in the store , I was with somebody and I was supposed to wait here". Instead of waiting, I went looking for them, and by the time I got back to my original spot, neither of us was in the right place. But there is joy in waiting. We must wait for the rose to fully blossom to enjoy the beauty of it's entirety. We must wait for a birth in order to have a healthy child. We must wait for the right person to marry or our lives could become pretty disastrous.Sometimes children can hardly wait to grow up. The butterfly must "wait here" in certain stages of it's life And so we must "wait here" until the Lord returns for us.
