The words of the LORD are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.

There is freedom that comes when faith is greater than the need to understand
I'm still learning to trust God's heart when I can't trace His hand
His timing is perfect. His plans are always good
My peace isn't found in having all the answers
It's found in knowing the One who does

A parable.
In a small town, there was a baker who, every night for thirty-one years, left one loaf of bread on his back windowsill before he went to bed. By morning it was always gone. He never stayed up to watch. He never put out a sign. His wife asked him once who took it, and he said, "Someone hungry. That's all I need to know."
When he died, the church was full. Near the end of the service, a man in his fifties stood up at the back. He said that when he was nine, his father had left and his mother worked nights, and for two winters that loaf was the only dinner he and his sister had. He said he used to wait in the alley until the kitchen light went off. He said he became a baker because of it. For the last twenty years, he said, he's left a loaf on his own windowsill every night.
The old baker never learned any of it. He never saw a single thing his bread did.
Most of the good you do, you'll never see land. Do it anyway. There's a Father who keeps the ledger.
"Your Father who sees in secret will reward you."
Matthew 6:4

Some seasons require more patience, but I would rather wait on God’s timing than rush into something He hasn’t prepared for me. I’m learning that God doesn’t waste waiting. He’s shaping and preparing me. He sees the beginning, middle, and end. I only see today. So I’ll trust Him.
