So, even as I type in this site name, I say to myself, "What are you doing?" knowing good and well that I absolutely do not have time to be blogging. I guess the romantic deep inside me is what causes me to persist.
Have you ever been completely overwhelmed? Perhaps by a gift or a compliment- you know the ones you totally weren't expecting from the people you would have last expected to give it. That's how I felt last night. COMPLETELY overwhelmed by the undeserving love that God has given me. And not only given me but delighted to give me despite all my failures and inconsistencies. HE, the perfect and timeless Being, LOVES ME!! And His love, quite frankly, took me by surprise last night. Too often I expect God to operate as another human and knowing that I have failed Him, I expected Him to be fed up with me and to leave me to my self-pity. Yet He chooses to wash over me with His blood. Which brings me back to the fact that not only does He love me, but He delights in displaying His love to me!
Father, You are beautiful beyond description! I love You!!
"Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations,
'The LORD has done great things for them.'
The LORD has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
...Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
He who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him."
Psalm 126: 2-3, 5-6
