be strong and take heart

The plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations. Ps 33:11


I must be prepared to wait on God's timing. His timing is precise, for He does things "at the very time" He has set. It is not for me to know His timing --- i must wait for it. I remember abraham and sarah's waiting for the promised son.God did not told abraham the 30 weary years of waiting but only as the time was approaching, with but a few mos. left to wait did God reveal His promise. " At the appointed time next year... Sarah will have a son." Gen 18:14

Message from my Dad:

So take heart , dear child when I require you to wait. The One you wait for will not disappoint you. He will never be even five minutes behind " the appointed time". And soon " your grief will turn to joy." Jn 16:20 Oh, how joyful the soul that I bring to laughter! Then sorrow and crying flee forever, as darkness flees the dawn.

Some glorious morn-- but when? Ah, who will say?
The steepest mountain will become a plain,
And the parched land be satisfied with rain
The gates of brass all broken; iron bars
Transfigured, form a ladder to the stars
rough places plain, and crooked way all straight
For her who with patient heart ran wait
These things will be on God's appointed day
It may not be tomorrow -- yet it may.

Blessed are those who mourn.. Mt 5:4
