Even the delays are covered in goodness and mercy

If Jesus had rushed to Mary and Martha the moment they called for Him, how much deeper would their sorrow have been to watch Lazarus fade in His presence? Even then, He had a plan—a purpose woven into their grief.

In what seemed like delay, there was divine mercy. In the breaking of their hearts, there was tender love.

Nothing can die in His presence, for He is life itself. He couldn’t have come before He did because His timing is perfect, His plans bathed in goodness. He is never late, never harsh. Every decision He makes flows from a heart that knows what is best for you.

Every “no” is a seed of goodness.

Every “not yet” is a treasure wrapped in patience.

Every closed door is a whispered love letter.

He is working all things together for your good, because His love for you is relentless and unshakable.

This may not be good, today.

But he’s working it for your good.

Because he is good🤍
