Treasured Vignettes
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12
The other day, I had a friend, who has been suffering with anxiety and despair over her troubled marriage relationship, tell me that she had hope. When I asked her what gave her that hope, she said two things: She realized that God cared and that He was the only one who could help her in this situation. And, she released and trusted God with her husband, herself and her trouble. It seems that “the God of all hope” is quick to respond to such faith. Selah.
