“And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on – a glorious light beyond all compare.
“There will be an end to these troubles, but until that day comes, we’ll live to know You here on the earth.”

Dear Lord, is there where the phrase ‘I can see light at the end of the tunnel’ comes from? Truly, knowing You and accepting Your gifts of salvation and forgiveness give me peace and the hope of eternal life. However, in my human and earthly mindset, I still want situations to be dealt with in the present, and my impatience wants everything resolved now – not at some distant, unknown point in the future. Lord, for those times when I cannot focus on the glorious future You have promised me, I thank You for holding me in Your arms and continuing to grant me love and peace. Thank You for not letting go of me, for blessing me beyond my dreams, and for giving me all that I have. May I come to know You better so that my days will be filled with the knowledge and truth of You and Your love. Amen.
