Proverbs 13:12 — Hope deferred makes the heart sick but a longing fufilled is a tree of life. This verse REALLY stood out to me. I saw it from the perspective of God dealing with us. There are so many times we’re told to wait on something, to not give up, to be patient that it almost starts to feel like God has forgotten His promises. This is a reminder that He actually cares about keeping you on read cuz He does not want your heart to be sick. He already told us to guard our hearts cuz everything to do with living comes from it, in every sense of the word. He also speaks of His peace guarding our hearts and mind. Because He obviously cares, He won’t defer hope. He will come through. It’s a very comforting thought.
