Not Yet, But Soon
Dear Sister,
I see you.
I see your heart breaking under the weight of your burdens.
I see the silent tears.
The whispered prayers.
The questions that swirl in your mind late at night.
I see you trying to hold on when everything in you wants to let go.
You feel like you’re at your breaking point, and yet,
God is still saying,
Not yet.
Not yet….though
Not yet, though your finances are stretched thin, and you wonder how much longer you can keep going.
Not yet, though your body aches with pain, and healing seems like a distant dream.
Not yet, though loneliness creeps in, and you long for love, for companionship, for family.
Not yet, though betrayal has left wounds so deep you wonder if you’ll ever feel whole again.
Not yet, though the courtroom battle for your children is draining you of every ounce of strength.
Not yet, though your workplace has become a battlefield, and you’re weary of fighting.
Not yet… but soon.
Sister, I know it hurts.
I know it’s exhausting.
I know you want to understand: why?
Why the delay?
Why the suffering?
Why the unanswered prayers?
But hear this: your waiting is not in vain.
The fire you are walking through is not meant to destroy you.
It is refining you.
God is strengthening you in the waiting.
He is building a foundation in you that will sustain the weight of the blessing He is preparing.
He is making you unshakable.
You are not forgotten.
The delay is not a denial.
It is a divine setup.
When God finally moves, it will be exceedingly, abundantly above all you could ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
But He will not bring you into the promise before you are fully prepared to handle it.
I know you feel like your life is not your own, and you’re right. It belongs to the One who is writing a masterpiece with your story.
Every tear matters.
Every tear, every trial, every sleepless night,
It’s a brushstroke on the canvas of your destiny.
So, what do you do while you wait?
You stand.
You stand on the Word of God, even when your emotions scream otherwise.
You trust.
Trust that the same God who brought Joseph from the prison to the palace,
who restored Job double for his trouble,
who made Sarah laugh with joy in her old age, that same God is moving on your behalf.
You worship.
Even in the pain, even in the uncertainty, even in the fire, because
the fire is where faith is proven.
You are not alone.
Heaven is backing you.
The angels are warring for you.
And in the appointed time,
When the “Not Yet” becomes “Now”,
you will look back and see that this season was not wasted.
It was preparation for greater glory.
Hold on, Sister.
The breaking point is often where miracles are born.
With love and unwavering hope,
Your Sister in Faith
