I got it!


Today's blog post is contributed by Denise Friedman:

Have you ever desired something, yet it always seemed just out of reach? Maybe the timing wasn’t quite right.  Maybe you were not in the correct position to receive it.  Maybe you tried to stifle the hope deep within you. 

Yet that dream would not vanish.  It would continually resurface.  So you kept dreaming, hoping, desiring because you knew this dream was something God had given to you. 

You might have had seasons where you became discouraged and all you could pray is “Thy will be done.”

Then, suddenly, God fulfilled this desire, and you felt so alive!  His word tells us:

Hope deferred makes the heart sick; but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

Proverbs 13:12

Today, if you are hoping for something, please be encouraged to continue pressing in.  God has placed that desire within your heart.  Don’t give up now; you might be near the finish line!

Maybe you have recently had a desired filled which seemed out of reach.  Share what God has done in your life.  Encourage others to keep pressing in and not surrendering to discouragement.  Share fruit from the tree of life you have been given.
