God does not rush

I've learned that the Lord does not desire to rush me. Rather, He wants me to grow in His time, and so I must be patient.

Before He sends me forth, I know that there are some things He wants to deal with first. Though I thought I was prepared, He showed me I wasn't ready yet. He made me come face to face with my weaknesses and I knew that it will take time.

I trust in Him however, that He will finish the good work He had begun!

Agnes { Dear Joyce, Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life. Your words have really been a pat on my shoulder and a hug rolled in one. I am now in a year long relationship and life has been treating me well. It is not a perfect relationship, we do have our shares of ups and downs but we come out of each as a better individual and we grow and learn together through those past mistakes.

He had called me many things and often times says that i am stupid. He said i needed to reform, and that the only way was "his way". for the past year i have been doing all he asks of me, i am not allowed to talk to my friends, neither am... } – Jan 24, 9:16 AM
