The Land of the Living

 

"I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the Land of the Living." 

 

 

Dear self, 6 months ago:

 

Those tears you have cried out to Him in your prayers have been heard

 

Your longing for a friend has been answered

 

Your loneliness has been received, and the isolation your heart feels will soon be healed

 

Your confusion if the Lord is the leader of this journey will be answered

 

The example you found in Moses and Aaron was an appropriate one

 

That priest that inspired you is a good one to be inspired by

 

The Lord's love for you will be shown more than you could ever ask for in those requests

 

You beg from your knees now, and you will soon rejoice in the embrace of an answered prayer

 

You believe in the Land of the Living, and they will soon be given faces and names

 

You will know, as you follow his plan, that he is ever moving, ever loving, ever listening.  Catching every tear, every thought, and every prayer. 

 

"Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD".

Psalm 27:13-14

 

When a favorite verse becomes true reality, words do not seem to do justice to the generosity of God
