I heard a story once told about a man who waited for his date at a cozy coffee shop for hours and hours and hours. It was an illustration of how Jesus waits for us to come to him. Does anyone know where I can find this illustration or has anyone heard it before or one similar?

google "drawing of jesus" and im sure youd come up with tons of them. amusingly they look like the white, red haired, chizled jaw, 6-pack having slender version of him.

I had an opportunity to seefirst hand miracles being performed like those mentioned in the Bible two thousand years ago.
Heres what I saw and it's displayed on Benny Hinn's website:

Quote
A man who had suffered a stroke walked up the steps and onto the platform, leaving his wheelchair behind. He moved back and forth across the platform, walking with a strong stride. As the crowd filled the hall with praise, the man walked faster and moved with ease, no longer suffering any impairment or weakness from the stroke.
A woman who had suffered with cancer came forward to testify of her miracle. A friend who accompanied her explained that the woman had suffered with severe pain and had previously been unable to bend over. With that, the woman lifted her arms overhead and slowly bent down, her fingertips almost touching the floor. Then she began to lift her arms until they were extended overhead again. She repeated this action a few times, each time telling the interpreter, “No pain!” The woman’s face was beaming with joy as she moved up and down, free at last from the pain that had tormented her.
A man who had been almost completely deaf for three decades was healed. He came forward carrying his hearing aids in hand, no longer needing them to hear clearly. His face told the story of delight and joy from finally being able to hear after so many years of silence.

What do you think of this ? God does exist ! I've seen miracles first hand and you can too.

Does God ever say, "Wait."? How do we know when God says, "Wait."? God always says "Wait."
"In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation" (Psalm 5:3).
Wait in expectation! Wait a few minutes or wait a few years. Wait on God to work it out in the best way possible.
"Wait in expectation." Two seemingly contradictory words. Yet God says it is the answer for us. Wait. Wait is a peaceful word. It is not worrisome. It is not fretful. It is simply resting in God's "Yes."

Maybe you should start with the gospels. You will find that Jesus is not waiting for us but we are waiting for him.
