As I read today's Gospel, I found myself thinking about all my "how's" and "whys." But when I read it again, I realized that I have so much to be thankful for, so much to appreciate, and so much to cherish.
The Gospel speaks about being entrusted by God with something and being expected to bear fruit in His time. Sometimes, I think I forget that my life is also something God has entrusted to me. I may not always understand where I am going, especially when things don't turn out the way I hoped. There are moments when I ask, "Why am I here? What am I doing with my life? When will God give me what I've been praying for?" But then I realized that everything I have and everything I am today is something I once prayed for. God is not asking me to understand everything right away. He is simply asking me to be faithful with what He has already placed in my hands.
Just like the landowner expected fruit at the proper time, I am reminded that God also has His own timing for the fruit He wants to see in my life. I may feel like nothing is happening, but that does not mean God is not doing anything. Even the "no's" I've received lately may not be rejections, but redirections. Some of the things I prayed for were not meant to happen in the way or timing I imagine. Sometimes, I focus so much on what I haven't received yet that I forget to see what has already been entrusted to me. And God is using those moments to prepare me for something I cannot see yet.
I don't need to have everything figured out today. I just need to be faithful with the vineyard He has given me, grateful for what is already here, and trust Him with the fruit that will come in His time.
