Withheld Love Letters

My girlfriend had worked for a family in England. I often wrote her letters since I had plenty of time to do so during basic training for the military. At that time, letters were the only affordable means of communication. Although I wrote so often, I didn’t receive any reply. I was absolutely devastated. What could possibly have happened?

When we were finally able to speak face-to-face after six months, everything got cleared up. Her boss had withheld the letters and had occasionally handed her a stack of them. The withheld letters and the infrequent replies even served to strengthen our love!

So don’t get so quickly discouraged if you have to wait for an answer. Maybe you’ve sent God a letter, and you’ve not received any reply yet. Don’t panic! He always answers at just the right time and never too late. He has shown us his love through his Son. That’s why he wants us to trust him. He knows how our love for him will become stronger.
