The life God has for you isn’t something you have to race toward before time runs out. His timing has already accounted for every delay, every detour, and every season that made you wonder if you were behind.
New Voicemail from God — 5:16 AM
I want to tell you about the timing that can’t be rushed or missed.
The timing isn’t in your hands
Jacqueline Whitney
I know you’ve been afraid you’re going to miss it. The right moment. The right door. The right person. You’ve been so anxious about being late that you’ve forgotten something important: what I’ve written for you isn’t sitting on a clock that can run out.
You can’t rush what I’m preparing, and you can’t miss it either. The timing isn’t in your hands. It never was. It’s not something you have to chase, force, or perfectly position yourself for. What’s meant for you has your name on it. It’s not going anywhere. It’s not going to someone else. It’s not expiring while you take the time you need to heal.
Stop trying to control what was never yours to control. Rest in the fact that I’ve already accounted for every delay, every detour, every season that felt like it was costing you time.
Nothing that’s truly yours can pass you by. Trust the timing. It’s mine, not yours. And I’ve never once been late.
