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\u2019t receive any reply. I was absolutely devastated. What could possibly have happened?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So don\u2019t get so quickly discouraged if you have to wait for an answer. Maybe you\u2019ve sent God a letter, and you\u2019ve not received any reply yet. Don\u2019t panic! He always answers at just the right time and never too late. He has shown us his love through his Son. That\u2019s why he wants us to trust him. He knows how our love for him will become stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. <\/p>\n<cite>Jeremiah 31:3<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you trust Him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bible Passage: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibleserver.com\/NIV\/1%20Corinthians13%3A1-13\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 Corinthians 13:1-13<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My girlfriend had worked for a family in England.
