In God's Time

You will want things and you will want them "now". There will be things that you don't even know that you want, but the Spirit will. But most importantly, God will know not only what's best for you, but also WHEN it will be best for you to receive it. Some things you will pray for and pray for and pray for and you will swear that God doesn't hear you. But God hears ALL your prayers. Sometimes He knows they are not good for you and will not grant you your wishes. Sometimes He knows you deserve better than what you are asking for and will grant you even better things. Sometimes He will guide you along a different path than you chose so that you will be blessed with other things as well. But never fail to pray for what is in your heart. Sometimes your wishes will be granted and you will not even know when they were granted. There is not much that I understand about God's ways, but I do know that He loves us and wants us to be happy and have the desires of our hearts and will grace us when He deems appropriate.

4/19/08 Lord, grant us the ability to forgive old grievances and make room for new blessings in their place. Amen.
