Some thoughts to encourage you on this Tuesday before Christmas...
And you, my little son,
will be called the prophet of the Most High,
because you will prepare the way for the Lord.You will tell his people how to find salvation
through forgiveness of their sins.
Because of God’s tender mercy,
the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us,to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
and to guide us to the path of peace.
- Luke 1:76-79 (Zechariah, speaking about his newborn son John the Baptist)
"I believe that if God showed us our purpose and future all at once, we wouldn't be able to handle it. God has such magnificent things in store for you, and sometimes it's going to be painful waiting for them to be manifested completely. Believe me, I know. So take heart and learn to be patient with yourself."
- Me, to a friend
"My child, eat honey, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste. In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, you will have a bright future, and your hopes will not be cut short."
- Proverbs 24:13-14
"This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed."
- Habakkuk 2:3
