This morning I was struck by a phrase
in Isaiah....
- In the midst of foretelling all the judgment
and bad stuff that would happen to them
because of their idolatry and evil practices towards God
and each other
God says through Isaiah,
"The Lord 
waits 
to be gracious to you"  ref Is 30:18
It brings back memories as a Dad
waiting for the kids to stop doing their craziness, 
to slow down enough to look at me...
and then I could show love to them...
What am I doing
that the Father is waiting for me
to slow down
to stop the madness
and then He can be gracious to me...?
Lord,
I have been there with my children,
wanting to show love,
yet needing to wait for them to be
ready to receive....
What am I doing 
that makes you wait?
This morning I stop
and
rest
and 
look to You
Thank You for Your
kind
patient
intention
to want to pour out
Your Love on me.
I rest and am 
secure in Your
Kind
Intentions.
Thank You.
