Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
Proverbs 13:12
Excitement builds as the promise is remembered. Today could be the day. This could be the day of breakthrough..the miracle witnessed. Yesterday's tears are in the past, the future is bright. New mercies are graciously lavished over this new day. Memories waiting around every corner--remember these days.
Palms up, ready to receive, willing to release. Eyes observing the abundant life all around. Circumstances not affecting the abounding joy within, for Hope is not found in things. Smiles exchanged, life shared and sharpened. Phones ringing, laughter rising, clicking of fingers on keys. All familiar and ordinary...yet, somehow extraordinary.
Truth spoken, tears spilled, coffee sipped. Sending silent prayers for situations described. Thank you, Father, for promises that are true always. Unsure of what will come, yet confident in knowing that He is working all things out for the good of those who love Him. And He is. Yes. He is.
Deep breath in, exhale. Repeat. He's got this, dear one, just like He's had all the others. He's got this. Uncontrollable smile, shaking of the head, spirit bubbling, anticipation rising. This could be the day.
