Sometimes God answers prayers with. "No, I love you to much."
Those are always hard to hear, especially when it seems like He is holding out His best for you. But then I look at the sky and see how it goes on forever how mindboggling it all is and think about how my God the very one that loves me SPOKE, just by saying words, it into existance- i know He know's what He is doing. He really does have my best interest at heart.
and then he reminds me
Ephesians 3:20; ,"God can do anything, you know - far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us."
"those who hope in the Lord will not be dissapointed"
Psalm 62:5-God, the one and only - I'll wait as long as he says. Everything I hope for comes from him, so why not?
Ps 25:21 -Use all your skill to put me together; I wait to see your finished product.
Ps 119:114 - You're my place of quiet retreat; I wait for your Word to renew me
Isa 30:18 - But God's not finished. He's waiting around to be gracious to you. He's gathering strength to show mercy to you. God takes the time to do everything right - everything. Those who wait around for him are the lucky ones.
Isa 40:31 -But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don't get tired, they walk and don't lag behind.
Isa 64:4 - Since before time began no one has ever imagined, No ear heard, no eye seen, a God like you who works for those who wait for him
Ro 8:19 -The created world itself can hardly wait for what's coming next.
Ro 8:25 - But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy.
He loved me 2000 years before I even existed.
