When Waiting Makes You Sick
“Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.”
Proverbs 13:12 (KJV) |
What This Means for You
Hope deferred makes the heart sick. Solomon knew that waiting for something you long for is physically, emotionally exhausting. If your heart feels sick from waiting, that is not weakness. It is human. But hold on, because when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.
Try This Today
Name the thing you have been waiting for. Then write two lists: what you cannot control about it, and what you can. Focus your energy only on the second list today.
