In this moving talk, Henri Nouwen explores the spirituality of waiting. With profound insight, he explains that while God's people are waiting for God, God is also waiting for his people.

Drawing from the Gospel of Luke, Nouwen encourages us to wait actively for God, to give up our desire for control of our destinies, and to trust that what comes from God's love will exceed anything we might imagine.

Likewise, Nouwen explains, God's love for us is a waiting love that depends entirely upon our reaction to it. A spirituality of waiting invites us to actively participate in God's own waiting. In doing so, we both experience and become a part of God's pure love.
