God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human hearts, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.
Sand in your shoes. People in your family. Coworkers in your office. All these things can be a source of irritation. We want to put things right, now. Sometimes we can. Other things take time.
God has all the time in the world. He is willing to wait for fruit to ripen, for light to dawn, for promises t be fulfilled. He knows we are just dust, but He puts us in right places to make us shine. Sometimes we feel like the oyster, constantly trying to smooth over life's irritations. But He wants us to know deep down we're really His pearls. And He won't stop polishing until we're perfect!
Jesus hung on a cross to pay for our deficits. He'll help us hang in there with each other until the process is complete.

Yes! He'll help us hang in there with each other until the process is complete. It can be painful and intolerable at time, but one day, we will all say, "It is worth it!"
