BUT... when the desire is fulfilled (Proverbs 13:12)

Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
BUT when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

Proverbs 13:12

Have you been hoping or desiring for something for a long time? I know the wait seems unbearable BUT know that if this is part of God’s plan He has a purpose in the waiting and when this desire is fulfilled oh it won’t be just a quick satisfaction BUT a Joy that blossoms for a life time. 

BUT dishonest talk (Proverbs 15:4)

Wholesome speech

is a tree of life…

BUT…

Dishonest talk breaks the spirit.

Proverbs 15:4 CEB

 Imagine a tree of life…

Full of blossoms in the spring,

Providing shade in the summer,

 vibrant colors in the fall,

Just thinking about it relaxes me and that is the same as a gentle tongue.

 BUT the tongue can also be an AXE and cut down someone’s spirit.
