Like a rose that opens to the rays of the sun God’s promises unfold as His will is being done This motion can’t be seen by the human eye In divine delays, don’t fear or ask Him, “Why?”
Wait and rejoice so your faith can grow strong Though the wait is painful and exceedingly long His times are not your times, in Him you must rest God’s hand shapes your soul and will bring out the best
In all you desire, let it be for your soul Let spiritual riches be your highest goal Seek not earthly treasures for they will not last Choose the way God leads, which is unsurpassed
Rejoice in God, for He is truly all you need You can never ask beyond His power to exceed Set your heart to be in His Presence every day He will be to you the truth, life, and the way

Romans 5:3-5 – “Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”
James 1:2-4 – “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
2 Peter 1:5-9 – “For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.”
