Tragedy had struck suddenly. I was swallowed in grief, overwhelmed with feelings of powerlessness, drowning in a sea of hopelessness, and devastated by the pain of a broken heart. The warm tears were like a flood that matched the pain in my soul. The Holy Spirit spoke, "Be still. Hush, Gina, don't say a word. Wait while I work." He reminded me that the battle belonged to the Lord and that I should wait as long as it took for Him. In the waiting, He revealed His glory, and I came to know the love of the Father. To know Him was worth the wait.
