In an instant I desire to be different. Instantly healed of every wound, instantly delivered from every dark memory. Instantly relieved of any pressure, instantly removed from any discomfort. Instantly gratified.
God in His wisdom speaks to me, ..we also glory in the tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Also He speaks, an inheritance gained hastily at the beginning will not be blessed at the end.*
*Rom 5:3-5, Pro 20:21
