Forever Loved

(Psalms 86:1-2, 5, 10, 12-13 )

Bow down thine ear, O Lord , hear me: for I am poor and needy.  Preserve my soul;

(Protect me sweet Savior, cover me with the Cross)

for I am holy:

( I am a wretched sinner saved by grace,  made Holy in thy sight by the precious blood of Christ.)

O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.  For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

(What a glorious hope we have in thee, O Lord)

  For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.  I will praise thee,

(You have given way more than I deserve,  thank you)

O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.  For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

(I weep with gratefulness,  I'm overwhelmed at the magnitude of your grace)

This morning as I sat in my car waiting on the store to open, I was talking to the Lord about some heartbreaks I've been experiencing lately.  I was asking him to protect me from my uncanny ability to make the wrong choices, for him to lead me and for him to, yes, make my heart feel better.  I came across this passage, and it comforted me in my time of sorrow and loneliness.  He has done so much for me that I don't deserve, and in his awesome love for me will continue to take care of me. He never ever fails to speak to me when I'm truly listening. I'm so thankful that when I am rejected by man, I still remain fully accepted by my heavenly Father.  I am written in the palms of his hand - forever loved, forever wanted and  forever  forgiven.
