Genesis 15-17; Luke 6

You can't give away what you don't have....

a pretty sobering mantra....and one I see the truth in RIGHT NOW...so, You knowing my heart I come and beg for Your help....

Ok...talk about twisted relationships?? Abram telling Sara to lie about being his sister and now Sara telling him to sleep w/the housemaid.....him doing it..her being pissed when he does and she (the housemaid) gets pregnant!!,,,.proving yet again You don't ask for us to be anything close to perfect....You ask us to BELIEVE....I basically suck at relationships, save for those who HAVE to love me, being related to me and all.......they did too and you still used them...I am not hearing you say it is ok to continue to SUCK but I am feeling Your grace for how I have....I will Abba try to put the shame aside and simply accept it...Your overwhelming grace.
And my I will for today....Luke 6:26............Your task is to be true, not popular.
There's so much in Luke 6 but for today THIS I will ponder...I will rest in, work in, pray in.....that and accepting Your GRACE
