1 Samuel 24; Psalm 57 & 58; 1 Chronicles 8; Matthew 8

The old song ...'hurts so good' comes to mind this morning. With tears stinging my eyes, heart about to burst or break or something.....shame and embarassment threatening to overwhelm me and yet GRACE calls me...GRACE covers me....GRACE motivates me.....

I just see myself so clearly or as clearly as my self contempt allows and in that vision today....this morning I see choices......to be like Saul stuck in the shame and embarassment or like David and simply completely....humbly....turn back.....fall deeply into the GRACE YOU offer and rest......

So it 'hurts good' this morning and while it lasts I want to......just TRUST....when the old and new tie together.....look out.
