Waiting for hope
It feels wonderful to find yourself waiting in quiet hope and encouraging others to do the same. It feels dreadful to seek the God you thought you knew while hope continues to hide. It feels like a betrayal on God’s part, or a failure on yours, or both.
Treasure hunting
A treasure sought is a treasure treasured. Please do not miss out on the astounding gifts God wants to give you, because you think you’re too busy to pay attention to his inner nudge.
