There was a time when I lost sight of the fact that I really didn't DO anything other than fashion for myself a hideous, burdensome sling due to foolish, selfish choices. It was HIM that did all the patient, diligent toiling, molding and cultivating to get me to the point that I became willing to submit to Him and HIS will for my life.
Had He been anything less than the merciful, loving God that He is, He'd have tossed my butt aside a long, long time ago.
There are still days I fall woefully short of the mark. Follow me around the board when I'm PMSing and see for yourself around the end of any given month . I am not always a good witness but fortunately, my sometimes-less-than-desirable witness doesn't change His existence nor His willingness to stay in my life and keep teaching me how to be better.
