Let your faith be bigger than your fear

“God will not rush your healing. And God will not rush your growth. God is okay with where you are right now. He’s not tapping His toe impatiently. He’s not looking at His watch with a sigh. He’s not trying to get you out the door a few minutes sooner. The God who loves you is willing to give you the time you need. All of time belongs to Him and He is generous with it. He gives it freely to fluffy birds and budding trees and chubby squirrels. And He’ll give it to your heart–as much as you need.”

“When that pernicious wound pops up yet again in your heart, pay attention: God wants to heal you on an even deeper level than last time. We sometimes think that one encounter with God’s love will heal us completely. But our wounds run deeper than we know, and God is patient.”
