time

The most amazing thing i learnt about waiting and time is that it really sifts out our motives. It surfaces our motives for us (and maybe others) to blatantly see.

And I agree with what I read from a Christian book that it is good to sit back and wait sometimes, for what we have been praying for. because at the same time this whole waiting really SURFACES OUT our MOTIVES!

It may not even be what we requested for! It may be something we wanted due to another reason or something we wanted to run away from, or something we should not want even.....how cool is that the fact that TIME ITSELF is a good surfacer of our motives and how God uses it to help us reflect - on our hearts.

And if and only if we choose to follow Christ wholeheartedly, He has promised hundredfold reward WHILE we are on earth as well as in heaven.

"Peter began to say to Him, "See we have left all and followed You." So Jesus answered and said, "Assuredly I say to You, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for My sake and the gospel's who shall not receive a hundredfold now IN THIS TIME (On earth) -- houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands with persecutions -- and in the age to come, eternal life." Mark 10:28-30

So the drawback is probably, just some persecutions....
