Walking by faith means being prepared to trust where we are not permitted to see. Trusting means drawing on the inexhaustible resources of God.
Courage is fear holding on a minute longer. -George S. Patton
No Exceptions
You should realize that you are naturally impatient because of the world you live in and the speed at which you are accustomed to things operating. We tend to expect “e-mail speed” answers to prayer.
Strengthen your faith. That’s the bottom line. Faith is the currency of the spiritual realm.
Not Yet!
“God has infinite attention, infinite leisure to spare for each one of us. You’re as much alone with Him as if you were the only thing He’d ever created.”
“We’re like blocks of stone, out of which the sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of his chisel, which hurt us so much, are what make us perfect. The suffering in the world is not the failure of God’s love for us; it is that love in action.”
–C.S. Lewis
The Secret
Put your hand into the hand of God, and let Him lead you out into the bright sunshine of His love.
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1
Thoughts
Other people don’t make you what you are; they only reveal what you are.
You can’t trust and worry at the same time.
When you pray for God’s guidance, do not complain if it is different from your preference.
