Titus 2:13 While We Wait For The Blessed Hope--The Glorious Appearing Of Our Great God And Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 Who Gave Himself For Us To Redeem Us From All Wickedness And To Purify For Himself A People That Are His Very Own, Eager To Do What Is Good.

Under normal circumstances waiting is difficult. When we are in pain, waiting is even more difficult…sometimes waiting seems to be impossible because of our pain. When we are in pain and we must wait we need to rest our heart, mind, and soul in the love of God. In the love of God we can see into a place called heaven. When we see into heaven, we can see Jesus waiting for us or we can see Jesus coming to earth as He did so long ago. When we see Jesus, we are filled with an eternal hope. So no matter how much we must wait, our waiting can be borne up by us. In Christ, we have the ability to be patient for we know we shall see Him face to face in the future. When we think and ponder, even in our pain, we know He gave His life for our life. We know He wants us to be pure and holy, without spot or blemish. We know He has called us to be His very own whether we are in pain or out of pain.
