My prayer for you this week is that you let your loved ones off the hook for fulfilling in you what only Christ can. That you’d understand God’s heart in a new way today as you listen to these words, which we sometimes forget: With God, one day is as good as a thousand years, and a thousand years, as good as a day (Ps. 90:4). God isn’t late with His promise, as some measure lateness, but because God so loves the world - that includes you! - He’s restraining Himself on your account, because He doesn’t want anyone lost (John 3:16). But instead, He desires that we would live life abundantly through Him (John 10:10). He’s giving everyone space and time to change (2 Peter 3:8-9).
