Heart sick
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when dreams come true, there is life and joy.
Proverbs 13:12 (NLT)
Tonight I feel heart sick. I don't even know if I have any reason to feel this way. It seems all I can see is my "hope deferred" and I know that speaks volumes about my level of faith and my ability to persevere. There are times things seem so clear and I can see the fulfillment of my dreams just as clearly as I heard God's voice. Then there are times like now when it seems I just watch the days of my life slip away so quickly that I fear there will be no time for the dreams to come true.
God, help me to wait in faith, but please have mercy on me when I am unable to tolerate your time frame. My heart is full and I long for you to not keep my hope waiting beyond my ability to endure.
