There are desires and dreams and aspirations that I have for life. Yet, if those things were all given to me, they would not create one ounce of sustainable fulfillment in the area which matters most; being found faithful. The “no” that the Lord often gives in response to our asks are for our own good. For pruning. For edification. For building faith. To help us be molded and shaped to look more like Christ! 🧡🙏🏽」6月29日 11時33分
