He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (AMP)
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9 (ASV)
Help us, Lord God, to discover the beauty and purpose of your grace. Only your love can satisfy the divine longing in our hearts and yet we refuse to acknowledge you. Every day, help us to receive you and walk in the knowledge of your presence; to receive your glory and healing so that we can be salt and light to a dying world. Reflect your desire for mankind through us - to love and be loved, to be called, chosen and appointed in order to do good things. Help us to be your hands and feet. Help us to receive your love so that we can in turn love.
