#beeproblems

A bee.  A bee was used today to show me a little bit of the Lord's heart.  While getting into my car a bee flew in causing me to leap out and release a shriek.  It was a terrifying experience.  I then spent twenty minutes waiting, praying, calling my mom for guidance, and staring at this little bee...hoping it would leave.  While watching it continuously fly into the glass and sit on the side window (while I had the doors wide open as an escape)--I couldn't help but think "come on bee! stop being so stupid".  Then I realized this is what we do.  The Lord is watching us constantly mess up and run into the glass (sin) consistently.  When there is an open door to except His invitation right in front of us; we don't see it, we think we know better, or it seems easier to try and figure things out on our own.  Unlike this bee, I want to run towards the light.  I know that the Lord has an open door for me.  I just need to accept His love and believe that He is able to use me.  I waited for 20 minutes for this bee to fly away.  This felt like forever to me---I wonder how the Lord feels waiting years for his children to look towards Him and say "yes"?
