The closer people are to God,

The more the will love one another.

Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen.

I realized that the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by His letting us have our way in the end, but by His making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able to honestly to pray what He taught His disciples to pray: Thy will be done.
