Couldnt sleep last night literally. So, I stayed on my recliner and read my Bible and had some long extended time with my Lord. I want to say this. I know I have sinned many many times in my life and recently. Im not proud of this. In fact, Im extremely ashamed and the guilt, sorrow, sadness, and shame I have felt I believe has been a factor in my poor health. I looked at Davids life and Peters life a lot. I know as well that in the past and present when I have sinned in my personal life that people will question my heart and judge based on what is seen. I love my Lord. Every day I continually weep before Him and plead for forgiveness and I hold onto the promise that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us of them. Im still His. Im still His servant. When David sinned before the Lord, he did not stop being King of Israel. God called him to that position and placed him there. David suffered the consequences his whole life, but the Lord dealt with him, loved him, and strengthened him to be the most memorable king not only to Israel but to the world. God deals. I looked at Job. Jobs friends shamed him. Made Job feel like a failure. Even tried to persuade him to end it all. They were all Job had left. He lost his immediate family and now had nothing but who he thought was his support group. He find out the hard way that in reality, his friends rejoiced in his sufferings. Found it entertaining and in a way made them feel better about themselves. It wasnt until Job humbled himself and sought the face and guidance of the only One that truly matters...the Lord. I praise God for never leaving me even when Ive tried to run from Him. Im grateful that He continues to give me a heart that loves people, including all of you, and a heart that loves Him and returns to Him.
