Our expectations shape how we interpret events, and delayed gratification is often viewed as suffering when it is actually a pathway to maturity. Waiting is not suffering, but an opportunity for growth and maturation. Rather than grasping for immediate gratification, waiting allows us to develop a patient and mature attitude, leading to true satisfaction.
An introduction into the book of Ruth; where God shows through two migrant, childless widows who cling to Him and cling to hope in spite of the chaos, He will weave the renewal of the whole world. From Ruth 1:1-5; 4:16-17.
