Why do you laugh at me?
Why the insults, you don't know me,
Tell me you sorry; tell me you were wrong,
Don't you know what I can do?
I'm the supreme creation,
I choose to build, but I can destroy,
Say you sorry, and be gone,
Don't you know what I can do?
I can be a blessing, or a dreadful enemy,
Why the insults, you don't know me,
Tell me you sorry, be gone right now,
I am losing patience; don't you know what I can do?
I can shake your hand, or end your world right now,
Say you're sorry; tell me you were wrong,
Why the insults you don't know me — Quetzal

For this end, we must be knit together in this work as one man, we must entertain each other in brotherly affection, we must be willing to abridge our selves of our superfluities for the supply of others' necessities. We must uphold a familiar commerce together in all meekness, gentleness, patience and liberality. We must delight in each other, make others' conditions our own, rejoice together, mourn together, labor, and suffer together, always having before our eyes our commission and community in the work, our community as members of the same body. So shall we keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace, the Lord will be our God and delight to dwell among us, as His own people and will command a blessing upon us in all our ways, so that we shall see much more of His wisdom, power, goodness, and truth then formerly we have been acquainted with. — John Winthrop

God is a wise husbandman, who waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it (James 5:7). He cannot gather the fruit until it is ripe. He knows when we are spiritually ready to receive the blessing to our profit and His glory. Waiting in the sunshine of His love is what will ripen the soul for His blessing. Waiting under the cloud of trial, that breaks in showers of blessing, is as necessary. Be assured that if God waits longer than you could wish, it is only to make the blessing doubly precious. God waited four thousand years, until the fullness of time, before He sent His Son. Our times are in His hands. He will avenge His elect speedily. He will make haste for our help and not delay one hour too long. — Andrew Murray
