I believe that only those who are truly waiting for the Lord will receive genuine benefit from these things.<\/p>\n<p>But even if you are not yet one who waits for the Lord&#8217;s return \u2014 if you can see that you ought to become one \u2014 you may ask right now the God who &#8220;gives generously to all without finding fault,&#8221; that He would make you into one who waits for Him.<\/p>\n<p>May the Lord bless you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture 1.
