Good morning and happy Friday. How long do we wait for God? Do we just give up at a point and say well I guess it's not gonna be? How do we know the answer is no or if its not yet?  I wish I had an answer, but apparently 4 1/2 plus years isn't too long. I think that for the most part it's about our continual relationship with God. When we stay in touch with our family and friends its easy to know what's going on and needs that may be needed to be met or joys to be celebrated. When it's been a while since we've seen them or talked its hard to have conversation other than catching up kind of news, it doesn't become very personal and close till the gap of time gets closed. I think when we realize that God made us for Himself, we could better understand the relationship we should have with Him. I've made a thousand promises to my kids over the course of their lives, some kept and some still to come. They ask about them every once in a while and about the status of it happening. Nothing big, but still important to them. Unlike God, I can't just make things happen so some will have to wait but they aren't discouraged by how long. We have a relationship. Draw near to God. He asks us to do so. He wants to be all you want Him to be. Be prepared to follow His plan and the direction He is leading you though. You will not win against God. So why not follow along the way that has already be won? In love always. <><
