Still Depressed But So Grateful
Things have not yet eased... as well I suppose they shouldn't have, since it's only been about 25 hours and God, as much as we'd like Him to be, is not a power-hungry, success-driven, modern American. He takes His sweet time, which is fine by me, since after all it is His game.
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you all how much I love you, and how grateful I am to have the amazing encouragement that you all afford in my life. I am humbled that you would even take note of me, let alone reach out and uplift me... God is so wonderful. I am blessed, and He is honored, by your love and devotion to Him and His Word... you glorify Him with your compassion, and with your determination to exhort His children, your brothers and sisters. I am not worthy of being called His child, and yet He claims me, and sets me in His family, along with all of you, to minister and be ministered to, to bless and be blessed. Thank you so much for loving your Father... for through loving Him you have loved me; and in showing love to me, you show Him your love and devotion to all that He is. My gratitude is endless, as are my praises...
Psalm 13
How long, O LORD ? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death; my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD , for he has been good to me.
