Suppressing our legitimate needs causes inner turmoil because we are telling ourselves a lie: that our needs aren't there. So what do we do with all these unmet needs?
There is a GAP. A distance between reality and what we have hoped for. And until we learn to forgive the gap, we cannot embrace the reality we have been given. Will you forgive the gap or live in a perpetual state of grief, disappointment and hurt?
Have you ever been all set up emotionally for God to come through, for that breakthrough you can see in your mind's eye to materialize, only to have what looked like the perfect opportunity evaporate before your eyes? Me too. And this is what I felt the Lord told me about those times.
