I have a number of close friends whose weddings I have attended. They’ve now been married for years – some 5 or even 15 years or more! Most have children. Some have been married, divorced and remarried. Where has the time gone? So quickly, yet so slowly, as things change, yet remain the same for me… being single when you want to be married is not easy.
….. God knows when our heart is breaking. He knows the pain and sadness we experience. He is not far away from us – He’s near. He is always close by our side to comfort us and take us through the difficulties and challenges we face. Yes, we may be tempted to lose hope and give up on Him, because we think He is taking so very long to sort out what we want. But instead, let us keep trusting in His love and mercy.
There is so much compassion shown in His Word, let us keep meditating on those Words that can lift our spirit. “The Lord is close to the broken hearted; and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18).
Be encouraged.
