A psalm

To know such love is more than I can bear.
To feel such joy of the Savior's gift to me.
How do you say thank you and receive such a gift
when doubt and fear and failure had become your heart's
tone? Do I just accept it all and continue to sing my
hypocrite song? Or do I deny myself the joy, the smile, the
peace just so that I can't feel so bad about my sin
and my shortcomings?

"Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?
On the heights along the way, where the paths meet
she takes her stand." Proverbs 8:1-2

I accept all these things on bended kneee. I embrace
joy with only a humble heart. I lift and exalt my Savior
and my God when I swallow...I must swallow my pride!

"Because when the questions dissolve into the silence of God,
the aching may remain, but the breaking does not." Andrew Peterson, "Love and Thunder"

"But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him,
on those whose hope is in His unfailing love," Psalm 33:18
