God Writes Testimonies That Take Time

We love the idea of a quick breakthrough, a fast-forwarded healing, or a neatly wrapped-up story. We long for the moment where everything finally makes sense, where the pain was worth it and the waiting is rewarded. But the truth is, God’s testimonies often unfold slowly—layer by layer, moment by moment, sometimes in ways we don’t even realize until we look back.

Testimonies aren’t just highlights; they are the full story. They include the hidden chapters—the ones where we were uncertain, where we wept in private, where we questioned if God even heard us. These parts matter. Because without the tension, the plot has no depth. Without the wait, the testimony has no weight.

Sometimes we wonder why God is taking so long. Why He hasn’t answered the prayer yet, why the door hasn’t opened, why we’re still in the in-between. But maybe it’s not a delay—it’s development. God is not just interested in solving your problem; He’s forming your character, deepening your trust, and refining your faith.

A testimony isn’t just what God did—it’s also about who you became while you waited on Him.

If your story feels unfinished, it’s because it is. You’re still in the middle of a testimony God is writing with purpose and care. Don’t rush the Author. He writes masterpieces, not drafts.

So take heart. The silence isn’t absence. The waiting isn’t wasted. And the slow, sacred work God is doing in you will one day be the very testimony that gives someone else hope.

Because God writes testimonies that take time.

Until next time,
