Sometimes it’s a lifetime achievement

Aren’t you glad God feels this way about us… that he would be patient, that He would put the work in, that He refuses to be satisfied with anything less than a night sky full of children? He is so worthy of our adoration and service.

Never give up

It is [only] eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea [on Canaan’s border; yet Israel took forty years to get beyond it]. And in the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses spoke to the Israelites according to all that the Lord had given him in commandment to them, The Lord your God has multiplied you, and behold, You Are this day as the Stars of the heavens for multitude. May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you as He has promised you!  Deuteronomy 1:2-3, 10-11 AMPC

8 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. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.                 2 Peter 3:8-9

When I view and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained and established, What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him? Yet You have made him but a little lower than God [or heavenly beings], and You have crowned him with glory and honor.  Psalm 8:3-5 AMPC
