Some days, the worry feels louder than the hope. You look at where you are and assume that’s where you’re headed.
But heaven sees something you don’t.
she’s closer than she thinks.

Angel 1: She’s so worried about what’s coming.
Angel 2: Have you seen what’s coming?
Angel 1: I have. She’d be amazed. She’d be relieved.
Angel 2: Then why does she keep spiraling?
Angel 1: Because she’s measuring her future by her current circumstances. She’s looking at her right now and assuming that’s what her tomorrow looks like.
Angel 2: It doesn’t, does it?
Angel 1: Not at all. The version of her life that’s coming looks nothing like the version she’s been afraid of. The peace she’s about to know. The love she’s about to receive. The dreams she’s about to step into.
Angel 2: And she has no idea?
Angel 1: None. She’s been so focused on what’s hard that she can’t see what’s being built. She doesn’t realize how much is shifting in her favor. How many things are aligning that she’s not aware of yet.
Angel 2: Should we tell her?
Angel 1: God says no. She has to trust without seeing. That’s the lesson she’s learning right now. But we can whisper to her that it’s worth the wait. That what’s coming is more than she’s imagined. That she’s closer than she thinks.
Angel 2: We’re rooting for her.
Angel 1: All of heaven is.
