3 gifts that are difficult:
My heart, God showing me how
~Selfish and me focused in tired pregnancy and hard times;
~Ignoring others and their needs;
And yet
~How justified I felt in feeling hurt and defensive in how others responded.
His grace is so huge.
I am so grateful that God has the grace and mercy to reveal this to me, to break me open and heal me again.
It's been coming together how I've been living in this way, and God just finished opening my eyes as I read Ann's blog today, with tears.
It's funny how God uses things in multiples in our lives sometimes. The song Ann talks about in her blog "Oh how He loves" has been brought up a couple of times over the last few days in various ways.
It has such truth from the Gospel in it. And it's something that I need to be reminded of often, especially when I feel as if I've failed others.
Please forgive me friends.
