"Wait, my child, your Heavenly Bridegroom is consumed with desire for you. For reasons you cannot now understand, He is holding Himself back from filling your life with every imaginable pleasure. He could do what you're asking Him to do. When He appears to do nothing, to leave you in your pain and provide no relief, realize this: The Man will not rest till He makes everything good. In the mystery of suffering, enter the deeper mystery of His restrained passion. As the mother holds her baby still so the doctor can deliver the needed injection, so your Lord is allowing you to suffer for reasons you do not know. Don't try to find comfort in explaining the reasons. Don't try to find the spiritual means to trust more. Enter your pain until your feet touch the solid ground beneath you, the solid ground of the restrained passion of Jesus. I, the Spirit of Christ, will reveal His passion to you. Create space for Me to fill by waiting, by abandoning yourself to God. When I allow you to discover His desire for you, you will rest with confidence in His love."
