God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don’t have now, we don’t need now.

Elisabeth Elliot

Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for

To love God is to love His will. It is to wait quietly for life to be measured by One who knows us through and through. It is to be content with His timing and His wise appointment.

It is God to whom and with whom we travel, and while He is the end of our journey, He is also at every stopping place.

It is always possible to be thankful for what is given rather than to complain about what is not given. One or the other becomes a habit of life.
