But what happens if the blessings don’t come? The ones we’ve waited for. The ones we’ve been promised. The husband, family, healing. Where do we stand when these blessings never shower over our lives in a brilliant array of happiness?

Where do we stand?

We stand under our Lord. In His refuge. Dwelling on His presence, resting in His peace. Because you see, we were never promised the pleasures of this world. We were promised so much more. A Father, a heavenly home, and an eternal life. But we cannot feel these constants so our spirits grow weary.

Don’t lose heart.

The sun is coming up. And with it, my Redeemer. His name is Jesus. And He wants you. He calls you. Run to His arms when the blessings don’t come. He will forever satisfy your soul beyond what anything in this earth can. I understand that it’s hard. I do. I have the desires to build a life with someone. Raise a family, live a fairytale.

But hear my heart; until you build your life on Jesus, you will never be satisfied with anything here on earth. Let Christ be your foundation. He’s our cornerstone.
