Journaling on 01-22-13…Amazed at God’s faithfulness

5:06 AM Psalm 22

Father, let me praise You for Your faithfulness to me; for Your deep and wonderful love. Lord, You have never been a disappointment to me. I, on the other hand, have disappointed You innumerable times. You are holy (3) and You are enthroned on the praises of Your people. In the past You have answered the prayers of our forefathers and rescued them. We are still in need of rescuing today, Father. May those who trust in You cry out for Your assistance; and won't You please answer.

Lord Jesus, I just cannot imagine the sacrifice You made for me…all that You suffered when You didn't have to do it. How much we humans take for granted -- how much I take for granted. Forgive me, Lord, for my failings; for taking You for granted; for not following the Spirit as I should.

How amazing is Your tolerance, patience, and love. If You had my nature You would've wiped us all out by now! But You're not like me. You are holy; different; higher; better. Thank You for the cross, Lord.
