We are entering into a sacred time, one of the beginning of the fulfillment of God’s promises to us.

Yes, it is the long-awaited fulfillment, the satisfaction of our deepest desires, but more than that, it is just the beginning.  As sweet as what lies before us is (which we see as in a foggy mirror, indistinctly), there will still be more and more and more.

God is One of fertile abundance; He brings full and faithful life.  He can never be outdone, and we can never out-give God.  He has promised, and he will do it.

This is a sacred time.  Stay awake, stay vigilant, but even if you fall asleep, if the wait is harder and longer than you thought, stay in love.  The Lord will sustain you, but you must stay in love.

This is the beginning, my friend, and it is sacred, so let us keep watch.
