John Piper Quote

So waiting is a holy workOf faith in God. Nor does there lurkBeneath the timing of his waysSome secret malice that displaysItself in holding back the flowOf future grace. God does not goFrom here to there by shortest routes;He makes a place for faith and doubts.Nor does he hasten on his way,But comes when it is best, today,Or maybe twenty years from now,Or more.
