Maybe God is always (and patiently) asking us if we want to get well. Maybe He knows a lot better than we do that getting to yes takes us a long time.
“Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been in this condition for a long time, so He asked him, ‘Do you want to get well?’” John 5:6
“Love perseveres patiently.” 1 Corinthians 13:4
