As Time goes by...

As time goes by your dreams end, your desires diminish and your illusions fade.  They are destroyed by the realities of life and its disappointments.  Relationships ends, goals are abandoned for other priorities and life loses its flavor.  “The monotony of living” Deterioration brings forth death.

For weeks I have prayed for joy, for purpose, for wisdom.  I realized gloom was lurking when flavors became tasteless, when smiles began to fade, and the routine became oppressive.  How I miss life!

My Father who holds my heart sustained me.  Due to his daily mercies, despair was not allowed to consume me. I shared my heart and submitted to the one who awards life, who provides hope and creates from nothing.  He began a new work in me.  He created out of nothing.  And I have been given hope.

I have evidence.  I see Him in answers to prayers.   In the healing of hurts, the deliverance from harm, the love of the ones I love, the joy of welcoming a lost pet, the provision for a desire and the reassurance of his understanding.

You do not see my heart, but trust me when I say: “He began a new work in me”.  And I am blessed for having in life such a loving God!
