Many times I wake up in the middle of the night and read my bible. I then struggle with a verse the rest of the night. Last night was no exception. I read Proverbs 2:3 Do not let go of kindness and truth. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablets of your heart. (Kindness and Truth is the personification of Jesus.) I had an image that kept coming to me: a bottle of black ink being dumped upon an unfinished painting. The closer I get to Father God, the more I see the ink bottle in my hand as he tries to paint a beautiful picture. My heart is grieved as I think of the hurt I have caused my Heavenly Father. He allows me to take a hold of his arm and stop his work. He could over power me but he doesn’t. Father God help me today to embrace kindness and truth. When I drift away from it, remind me to stay course. Help me to become more like Jesus.

Many times I wake up in the middle of the night to……go to the bathroom. Amen on your prayer. The more we draw towards Him, the more His desires become our desires.
I was up a lot last night… but it was because of my cat
… kinda wish I was up for the reason you were…
It’s amazing to me how you write about exactly what eveyone is feeling. Thinking about how much sorrow we have caused God through our actions, words and lifestyle – That’s a thought that crosses my mind at least once everyday. Is so cool how you post your own personal thoughts for eveyone to read, while some people try to hide their troubles, worries, or even their faith. You’re definately a very inspiring person. Sorry if this comment didn’t make any sense lol.
