Exploration of Growth, Waiting, and Faithful Anticipation
The process of growth, particularly in the way of Jesus, can be uncomfortable and chaotic, leading to a necessary period of waiting that is often misunderstood as doing nothing. Waiting, as defined by some, involves a contemplative relationship with one's own depths, trusting in God for sustenance. This waiting period helps in allowing the soul to mature, weaning it from reliance on external provision to the true rest of knowing God as the ultimate provider. The parable of the 10 virgins in Jesus' teachings symbolizes the faithful anticipation of a bride awaiting the bridegroom, signifying the expectation of the kingdom of heaven's arrival despite the prolonged wait and enduring darkness.
