On the Way

Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

It really hurts when the answer is "No"!

Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
~ Proverbs 13:12 (ESV)

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
(NIV)

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
(KJV)

13:12 Hope deferred - Delays in obtaining what a man passionately desires. The desire - The good desired. A tree of life - It is satisfactory, and reviving.
(Wesley's notes)
