If God seems slow in responding, it is because He is preparing a better gift. He will not deny us. God withholds what you are not yet ready for. He wants you to have a lively desire for His greatest gifts. All of which is to say, pray always and do not lose heart.

God is not a deceiver, that He should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should slip away from us.

I have learnt to love you late, Beauty at once so ancient and so new!

All truth and understanding is a result of a divine light which is God Himself.
