Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is like a tree of life.
Proverbs 12:14
Heartsickness is a common experience among humans. Why do we desire things we can't have? Why do we seek fulfillment where it can't be gained?
We put our hope in people: people are fickle. We put our hope it stuff: stuff wears. We put our hope in wealth, but even money cannot fulfil all our desires.
Faith is being sure of what we hope for, being certain of what we do not see.
Hebrews 11
Have faith in God! He will be faithful to complete your sanctification, you saint.
Orthopathy: right affections. God, help me to love you with my whole heart.
