When the Time was Right

--> One of my beloved friends from the states sent me with a handful of cards to open as I needed them. I have needed them for the last few weeks but just yesterday I found the time to open one up. The envelope read (today). Hehe....Here is the message on the card:

When the Time was right,
the sea parted,
the walls fell down,
the lions went hungry,
the sun stood still,
the waves were calm,
the stone was rolled away,
the clouds were parted,
the Lord ascended....
And When the Time is Right,
The King of Kings WILLL RETURN.

What a wonderful promise. It doesn't matter the sadness I see or the heartbreak I feel. Because I believe in God and that Jesus died and rose on the cross, I will get to see Jesus face to face. Jesus is coming back so I need to continue doing good work. I want Jesus to catch me telling others about Christ not moping in my circumstances. The card continues with:

God is never early
and He's never late-
He's always right on time.
His plan for you is GOOD.

My prayer of thanks is this...."For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."...thanks for writing a beautiful story for my life Lord.

God know the hopes and desires of my heart. He knows what is best for me and he is continuing to lay a path before me.
