Sometimes the most loving thing God can do for us is to make us WAIT

“When God says, ‘Later,’ he turns up the emotional volume knob to reveal what’s in our heart.”

"There is no answer for these sufferings, except that God is God. But that answer leaves us with a tension that is, at least emotionally, irresolvable. We ask why God would put us through a difficult season of waiting only to pull the rug out from under us, and we question his trustworthiness, his character, and even his love... God never promises a reason. He rarely offers an answer. He will always offer himself. And I (reluctantly) cannot think of a more persuasive way for God to present himself to a sinful heart than through rising anticipation, and the free fall of disappointment."

“Praise Jesus that I don’t get what I want when I want it.”
