Thinking about these words lately…

He makes us wait.  He keeps us on purpose in the dark.  He makes us walk when we want to run, sit still when we want to walk, for He has things to do in our souls that we are not interested in…

Some of the delays are His own choice for us, so we must not always chide ourselves when the pace is not what we thought it should be.  We must learn to move according to the timetable of the Timeless One, and be at peace.
