Job 5; Psalm 108; Acts 10-11

I read this...particularly this sentence
"It is very easy to choose to pity or judge someone. It is entirely more difficult to choose to love them enough, to work hard to meet them where they are and understand them. This is what is required to enter into relationships w/people who are different from us. This is what is required in order to be love to those people we have very little in common with and to reach out to the hurting and lost among us."

I want to run away......
I need to stay put.

I want to scream and yell...
I need to stay quiet.

I want to stomp my feet and demand.....
I need to wait.

I need to PRAISE You for everything and I want to ask for more.
I need to listen more than speak and I want to be asked.

Thank you Abba for finding me, forgiving me no matter how far I wander...for at the slightest inclination of humbling myself, You running towards me. I am sorry Abba for forgetting, defiantly not being satisfied w/Your love and protection. I am sorry
