-----------------------------------------------------------------"Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious
ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O Lord." Psalms 25:7 (NIV)
How many times have I marred your heart? Tons, is it not? What were your verdicts that moment, Lord? Did you endeavor to leave me behind? Did you pronounce you were under par and consider necessary to let go of me? There was no denunciation, was it not? Who am I, Lord? You think I ought to have this? I have upset you a lot, haven’t I? Why did you conceal me in your wings?
Love. Simply love. It is all because of Your love for me, for us, for all you have breathed upon. Who else can offer that kind of love? None. You had the choice to abscond but you are not wicked. It is not in Your nature, Lord. You are more than keen to scamper behind us if we feel like running away. You are good and upright; You instruct sinners in Your ways. You are never failing to forgive. Tons for marring your heart… One mercy erases it all.
This is the type of love I have been probing for. I thought I would be able to find it in earthly possessions but you proved me wide of the mark, Lord. I thought every deed that I had done was not a big deal to every person who truly loves me. If only I listened to Your factual whispers. I am secured now, Father, for You incessantly screen my life from the fiery arrows of the enemies. My hope is in You. I will not get tired of following You.
