I was sitting in church and was trying not to be discouraged as none of the people that the missionaries had been teaching came that Sunday.
About half way through the first meeting my attention was diverted as someone came and sat down next to the missionaries in front of us.
One of the missionaries leaned back and asked us to save the seat next to us so when their investigator came, he would have a place to sit.
I was stunned.
It was half way through the meeting and this missionary kept the faith and hope that he was going to show!
He never did show and I never did see that missionary become discouraged from it. She kept the faith and hope until the very end. And then when it didn't pan out, transferred that hope and faith to the fact that he will come next week.
We pray for things.
We hope for things.
We have faith that things will happen.
But when they don't it seems like the world is crashing down and we allow ourselves to get frustrated at our Heavenly Father.
He knows much more than we do and a lot of times tests us and directs us to reach our full potential.
Keep the faith and keep the hope.
As long as you are taking care of what He wants you to, everything will work out for the best.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
