Jeremiah 29 vs 11; “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, Plans to pros per you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” A YOUNG acquaintan­ce of mine pointed out to me that I have been consistent in telling him that in time everything will be clear according to God’s will.

I suppose when you are in a situation where you are desperatel­y searching and pleading with God to show you where to go and how to deal with your issues, it’s not very assuring to keep hearing that “don’t worry, in time it will all be clear.”

When we go through difficulti­es we seldom believe that anything meaningful will manifest, if anything we are angered by the emotions we have to bear, in some instances we are convinced we have been made to needlessly toil and suffer.

As much as it is tiring to keep hearing that in time it will be clear, it is true. In time, God allows that which is hidden to come to light and the things you did not understand begin to assume a new dimension.

I can boldly say that, over time, certain tracts within the Bible; despite reading them over many years, have come alive with a totally new meaning that I understand.

It is the same with our lives. He slowly steers us in a direction, though things may go wrong, He slowly reels us in for His glory. As time progresses, our understand­ing and maturity begins to set in.

Time is the greatest teacher. Over time, His perfect plans for will emerge, regardless of how old you may be. Be blessed. REFLECTION­SOF A WORKINPROG­RESS ...
