God's Timing

More and more people talk to me and question God's timing. I have to admit, I struggle often with His timing in things. If I can just stop and look back at how amazing His timing really has been for me....I can't complain. God is so good. He knows exactly what we need. The main point is to let Him work on His timing. It may take a long time for healing or change to be completed, yet we should feel safe and reassured that He loves us...He has a plan...He knows the decisions that will be made. May God be with you through your waiting period. Remember the saying...when you are down to nothing, he is up to something! Love you!
