Day 9 -
I'm wearing the same clothes from yesterday. Clothes I slept in & I just done even care. I just don't.
I'm exhausted. Emotionally drained. It seems every time I turned the corner this week something broke or someone was broken. I am ever thankful God doesn't ever feel this way.
This week has been full of God's voice & his "treasures". I'm trying to understand if it is a product of our "fast" or if it is just me becoming more intentional, more expectant to hear it & find HIM in each day.
I'm still baffled this week about some of the people God has put on my path. Some of these people I have felt failed me. They weren't there when I needed them the most. But may be all along it was me that didn't invite them in. I didn't extend the hospitality.
Also, people I have been unable to extend grace & forgiveness for their transgressions against me. People I have been unable to meet in their own brokenness & insecurities because I wanted them to bear the burden of meeting me in mine.
I need to step out of my comfort zone & meet them were they are at. To love & serve them the way I want to be loved & served. To extend grace & forgiveness the way I want it extended to me.
"Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?" Jesus replied, "You must love the Lord God with all you heart, all your soul and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second and equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:36-39
Thank you God for not thinking & acting in this way:
Jesus looked at them & said, "With Man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26.
