From a devotional...

I got emailed this devotional from Proverbs 31 Ministries today. It prompted me to write the following thoughts in my journal.

  • **How many times have I given reasons that I cannot be built into God's image?
  • **How many times have I totally trashed and torn down part of God's creation (myself)?
  • **How many times have I denied access to God - denied Him access to my life and heart?


Yet -

  • **In His Word, He speaks the truth to me - ready to meet all my arguments with His Truth.
  • **He is ready to always rebuild what I have torn down into something even better.
  • **He is holding me - even when I push His love away - and waits. All the time showing me His love, over and over, in His Word, Creation and the Body of Christ.

...till I finally listen and hear
and slow down
and soak in His truth...


In soaking - maybe I will finally allow some more of that truth to really get into the marrow of my bones.

Perhaps the hardest lesson we'll ever learn... letting God's truth soak deeply into our marrow until it becomes our certain truth, allowing us sure footing on solid, holy ground!

Love you. Thanks for your support this week.
