I battle this a lot. Like as I comfort those and feed those who are hungry and dying here…and then as I get all worked up and irritated and mad about it and all the emotions rage and flare…and then the peace to love “them” then the peace that comes when He is loving me in spite of “them” in spite of me…yeah…I don’t understand any of it, but I understand enough.

this is… a lot. a heavy thought (rhyme not intentional) i don’t think i’ve ever really thought about this, though of course i suppose i knew it. but i don’t think i’ve let myself dwell on this side of the cross. it’s somewhere i needed to go.

oh the deep, deep love of Jesus. vast, unmeasured, boundless, free. rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me. underneath me, all around me is the current of thy love.

…. i love that, as long as i live, there will always be things for me to learn, different aspects of love and grace for me to grasp. thank you for pulling this out.

So good, Alece. I think when we really grasp this – it creates in us the ability to freely forgive others. The revelation … comes slowly at times.

Thank you for sharing words that yet again, get right to my heart.

I’ve recently found out that someone I work with that I thought was a friend has been stealing from me. Not huge stuff, but enough where I feel (obviously) angry and betrayed, especially since I know the Lord put her on my heart to walk alongside and be in relationship with.

So, God is teaching me major things through this….. for starters, am I even 10% as sickened by my OWN sin as I am by hers? Hello…..

I’m so grateful when He brings things from head knowledge to heart knowledge. I am grateful for this experience, because it’s given me a deeper understanding of my own sin, and what that cost Him. And to fellowship in His sufferings.

Still praying, Alece.

It’s that darn human-ness of mine that sometiems gets in the way of what I know to be true. Great reminder, friend.
