God is using this season of life to work on you to be better. He is making you better. Teaching you patience and to trust in Him. He is listening. He is very close to the broken hearted and to those with a repentant spirit. He is near you now. Getting a visa to Canada is not proof that God loves you, you know?
God’s will is the only place you want to be. Be it in Sudan or Afganistan or Iraq. In God’s presence is where you always want to be. Seeking His face. Embraced by His love. Hidden in the cleft of His rock. Savoring of His approval. What of those abroad today who are lonely and miserable! Looking for someone, anyone to talk to them?
Yes, as His child, you ask things of Him in prayer. As your father He wants to give you those things, give you every good thing. But if He does not give you now, you still love Him, won’t you? You will forever love Him. Your love for God is not based on Him giving you things. No matter what, your love will be steadfast. You are doing what you need to do to move your career forward. And as long as you are alive, you will keep working hard at it everyday and leaving the results to itself. That’s all you can do. That’s what you will do, and oh, you will do it with praise. God is doing something now…
