Well written indeed! Our words rarely scratch the surface of our hearts. As you know, I understand. All too well.

Just this morning I was reading in my all time favorite devotional, Jesus Calling, if you do not have it or haven’t heard of it, I strongly urge you to run to Barnes and Noble today and purchase yourself a copy! Your time with Him will never be the same. But, I digress…..It said(the book is written as if Jesus is speaking):

Instead of trying to analyze the intricacies of the pattern, focus your energy on trusting Me and thanking Me at all times. Nothing is wasted when you walk close to me. Even your mistakes and sins can be recycled into something good, through my transforming grace.

I pray that He answers your prayer in such a way, you can’t help but notice because He’s so busy working through you and your life!

Blessings to you on this day Mel!

I have also learned that many of the things I was taught were actually RIGHT ON…they just weren’t taught for the right reasons or in the right way (like I believe that children really DO need to obey their parents but that a parents insistence on it needs to because GOD has said it and we as parents are helping to point kids hearts to Christ…rather than obedience just so we don’t get dad mad at us.) It’s a hard balance…love and grace…truth and acceptance of “what everyone else is doing”. Tolerance vs. accepting sin. Blessings to you as you work through these issues.
