Our Boy and His Cricket

Delay is not denial...

...Leave Me out of nothing. Love all My ways with you. Know indeed that "All is well." Delay is but the wonderful and all-loving restraint of your Father-not reluctance, not desire to deny-but the Divine control of a Father who can scarcely brook the delay.

Delay has to be-sometimes. Your lives are so linked up with those of others, so bound by circumstances that to let your desire have instant fulfillment might in many cases cause another, as earnest prayer, to go unanswered.

But think for a moment of the Love and thoughtful care that seek to harmonize and reconcile all our desires and longing and prayers.

Delay is not denial-nor even withholding. It is the opportunity for God to work out your problems and accomplish your desires in the most wonderful way possible for you.

Oh! Children, trust Me. Remember that your Maker is also your Servant, quick to fullfill, quick to achieve, faithful in accomplishment. Yes. All IS well.
