You wonder when life will look up for you, when you\u2019ll step into the light and begin achieving your dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You wish you didn\u2019t feel like you were falling so far behind in life and love, laboring away at an unfulfilling job, waiting for someone special to sweep you off your feet. But as you pray for new beginnings, remember that God has perfect timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God will wait for you to heal. He sees your deep pain, the scars you bear and the wounds you bind. He sees the heartache, the trauma, the despair that you can never seem to leave behind. But He also sees you moving forward, letting go of the ones who mistreated you, taming your anxieties, becoming more resilient day by day. And one day, when your mind is clearer and your heart is open, He\u2019ll place undeniable opportunity and lasting love in your path because He knows you\u2019ve taken the journey to healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God will surprise you. In the moments you cry to Him, praying that He\u2019ll rescue you from your hardships, He\u2019ll work quietly, changing the tides in ways unseen. He\u2019ll help you in ways you may not fully understand until you\u2019re healed, guiding you in a direction that will eventually improve your life. And one day, you\u2019ll see your life tangibly change, realizing that every tear, heartbreak, and prayer led up to this moment with God\u2019s divine timing. You may not see His work, but when you discover it, you\u2019ll feel purely, giddily happy\u2014a moment you\u2019ll cherish forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God will make everything make sense. One day, you\u2019ll see the beauty of His perfect timing, the reasons why you got your heart broken, the reasons why He saved such precious moments for later in your life. You\u2019ll come to fully appreciate how He helped you grow in faith and love before he fulfilled your dreams, appreciating how the hardships you faced led you to your present happiness. And while you may not realize it now, in the depths of your pain, God is preparing for your miracle at the perfect time when you will appreciate it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
