It is a friend beckoning me onward to
faith, to trust that in the waiting my
soul is being enlarged for the purposes
of God. And as I wait, I will worship. I
will turn my gaze to Jesus and put my
trust in Him. I will allow the longing to
resurrect my hope that the One who
promised is faithful and a great good
is coming.
