it takes longer than expected...
it's messier than expected...
it costs more than expected...
Going a little farther, [Jesus] fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." ...
He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done."
Matthew 26:39, 42
it calls for patience...
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
2Peter 3:8-9
Are you willing to pay the price of restoration... emotional... spiritual... relational... waiting... patiently... in a daily mess... that costs a lot...?
am I...?
