Although this isn't the lake I was walking around this morning it's
almost as beautiful on a much smaller scale. So here's the
thing: I was having a morning 'quiet time', talking with the
God whom I'm beginning to understand, truly loves me in depths of
commitment unimaginable. I was thinking about something in
particular and said "Father, I am such a twit" and in that instant
understood that he already knew that. In fact that he knew before
I was born all the weaknesses and failings that I would only glimpse
dimly at times. But also in that instant, I heard as clearly as if you'd
said it to me "I knew that". At that moment the enormity of the fact that,
all these years he has kept his word, been faithful,been a constant help
in time of need, been my only source of comfort in places no human
friend could enter -- became humblingly, joyfully, lovingly clear.

I walked on in awed, grateful silence, letting his love wash over me.
And that is my wish for each of you this day. That His dear,
compassionate, tender, kindly love would become known to you
personally -- perhaps in ways you've never imagined or experienced
before. May you be blessed.
