God gives us the vision, then He takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision, and it is in the valley that so many of us faint and give way. Every vision will be made real if we will have patience. Think of the enormous leisure of God! He is never in a hurry.

When we are abandoned to God, He works through us all the time.

Spiritual lust causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Himself who gives the answer.
