Hope Deferred Makes the Heart Sick | Pursuit of Wisdom Devotional (16) | Bill Johnson

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire realized is a tree of life.” (Proverbs 13:12).

When hope is deferred and you experience disappointment or loss, it is important to be aware of your vulnerability in those moments and be intentional to protect your heart by guarding what you think about, what you say, and who you spend time with.
