Father God, I have had many titles of posts that I want to make here, and now I cannot remember any of them. Such is busyness and my memory! We have had a very productive day, though, haven't we? Bailey is staring at me right now. He had better chill because I intend to do his teeth again before DH gets home in 15 minutes or so.
Reflecting on the Scripture readings for today, from 1 Samuel and featuring David and Saul, I see the personal relationship that the former had with You and the fearful relationship that the latter had. (Did Saul have bipolar disorder?) I also keep bumping up against the "gross misconduct" termination finding and my emotional distress over the failure of justice. Or is it just? In many of the commentaries from The Bible Recap, TLC emphasizes that we deserve all the worst things that befall humanity, sometimes at the hands of others and sometimes at Your hands. I will accept that I am a terrible human being, that I have not lived up to my own exalted image of myself in my own mind! Making peace with that notion in this latter stage of my life is going to be a challenging task, I think. But--You have redeemed me, although I don't think I am such a bargain, Lord. Keep renovating me. You are always at work, as the song Way Maker emphasized on my walk with Bailey today.
Love You but never as much as You deserve.
