Repost: Not Ashamed to Wait

“Those who wait for Me with hope will not be put to shame.”

We applaud members of the Body who have a “before” and “after” tale of how Jesus plus willpower took them from the dust of defeat to the pinnacle of spiritual success.

But we hide the strugglers and stragglers in the back pews.

  1. So good!  I have been reflecting on this recently, the continued wait and quiet suffering.  Yes I know my eyes will become faith with I get to Heaven, but the waiting is so hard.  Thank you for putting my thoughts into words. Ann Hebert
