I foolishly turn ...His gracious love is so amazing. I foolishly turn to lesser gods every day, even when He whispers in my heart, gently asking me to turn to Him. And then I shun Him, only to turn to Him in grief moments or hours later. Seventy-times-seven indeed. That was used up the first few days. <BR/><BR/>Yet every time I turn to Him, He awaits with arms open wide, with delight. He longs to embrace me, to be my strength, to use my failures to transform me. He is so incredibly patient. Yet, the evidence is there. He loves me. His love has endured my pig-headed recalcitrance, my foolishness. <BR/><BR/>I think the one way He redeems my failures is by using them to show me the depth of my need for HIs grace. I believe it is only as my heart is drawn to Him out of gratitude that I can really hear His whispers of love.Gary Meanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13213758384049656850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002776.post-1144695667656512882006-04-10T14:01:00.000-05:002006-04-10T14:01:00.000-05:00Hits home.
