Friday!
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
Proverbs 13:12 NIV
Hope.
When what we hope for doesn't happen... when that thing just gets further away not closer... our hearts can get sick, sad, despondent...
And when something we've worked for, dreamed of, invested in, comes off, becomes a reality, is achieved, it's like a source of life & energy.
So we know it can be hard when hope is deferred, & the knowing can help us prepare...so that we are not overwhelmed :)
We all need people on our side sometimes...and we can be there for others in their time of need
But where we put our ultimate hope is key. One day that longing, that nagging feeling that there's more to this life, that ultimate hope will be realised when we're face to face with The Tree of Life
One day all will be made new.

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
