• More On Point

  This entry won't be as depressing, sullen, or heartbreaking as my last one.  I just came back from viewing "Eagle Eye" with two friends.  (I thought the film actually lived up to the promise shown in the trailers)  There was a quick comment from one of my friends that confirmed something that I've suspected for about, oh, two weeks.  Due to the sensitive nature of this comment, I will not divulge the details.  However, let me say that I am pretty stubborn and God is very patient to repeat things until I hear them.  Sometimes He says things that I don't like and that cause some pain.  But what is pain, if not a method to draw me closer to the arms of Compassion?  Every emotion I am captivated by, every insecurity that passes through my thoughts, He is familiar with.  His compassions fail not.  God. chose. me.  Dead in sin, there I lay.  He, in His infinite wisdom, love and grace, chose to save me from sin.  He heard not a plea for help from my lips, but saved me anyway.  Long before I even knew His name, the work was done.  What sort of God would do this?  One full of love. compassion. grace. mercy.  This is my God.  This is the God I am called to hope in.  So, I'll stand in the rain, stand in the pain, asking for this God to quiet my heart, as He stands with me.

  Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found;
  surely when the mighty waters rise,
  they will not reach him.
  You are my hiding place;
  you will protect me from trouble
  and surround me with songs of deliverance.
  Psalm 32:6-7
