God withholds blessing only in wisdom, never in spite or aloofness.
In her book "Through Gates of Splendor," Elisabeth Elliot discusses the nature of divine blessings, emphasizing that God does not withhold blessings out of spite or indifference. Instead, any delay or absence of blessings is rooted in divine wisdom. This teaches us that God's decisions are guided by a deeper understanding that may not always align with our immediate desires or perceptions.
Elliot's perspective invites readers to trust in God's timing and the reasons behind His actions. It encourages a reflection on the purpose of waiting and the assurance that God is always working for our good, even when it seems like blessings are absent. This wisdom can bring comfort and hope, reinforcing the belief that God operates from a place of love and reason.
