Tunnel Faith

God made some promises to me years ago, promises i didn't understand and to be honest, was afraid of. He did promise to be there in the midst of it all. He repeated it often, through other people. Reaffirmed it in the things that happened or rather didn't happen. All he needed was that i hold on; change was coming, change indeed came.
We here it over and over again from the pulpit, from the mouths of foe and friend alike; wait on God, he always comes through. It is a completely different thing when we actually have to do it, especially when there are no guarantees, no foreseeable positive results, no light in your tunnel. JOy comes in the coming, right? How then do we explain it when mornings come and go and still no joy!
Waiting in that tunnel , believing in a good good God, a God who has not forgotten you; that is the true test of Faith. Sometimes we pass, oftentimes we fail but most times all we ever need to do,
is hold on.
To Jesus.
