This is real love—
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and
sent his Son as a sacrifice
to take away our sins.
Dear friends,
since God loved us
that much,we surely
ought to love each other.
No one has ever seen God.
But if we love each other,
God lives in us,
and his love is brought to full expression in us.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. (Eccl 3:1-8 NIV)
LORD, I know I need to be more patient and trust You to complete what You have begun in my life. But that is especially difficult in times when it feels like nothing is happening at all! The right thing at the wrong time can be as damaging as the wrong thing at any time. So please do whatever You need to do to get me where I need to be when I need to be there, and help me trust Your timing and not be anxious in the meantime.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
