Dear God,

I felt low, blue, sad and lonely.  Once again I had set my expectations too high and was disappointed.  Silly me.  An old habit.  What can I say?

Early this morning I sat down to do my devotions on the patio.  I turned to Sacred Journeys and there I read about your love for us.  I opened the psalms and it was the day to read from Psalm 139.  Once again you declared your love for your children.  Four of five devotional readings talked about your love for your creatures.  Tears welled in my eyes.  I heard your voice, "Did you doubt?"  Of course, my faith had been too small.  You humbled me as I realized the answer to your next question.  "Am I not enough?"

Way too often I fall prey to self pity.  I set myself up to be hurt.  I forget whose love holds me tightly.  I failed.  You caught me allowing me to bathe in the only love that really counts.

You are God;
there is none
like you.
How I
praise you,
O Lord;
how I
give thanks.

Love, Andrea
