I woke up angry. Angry with Woody
for leaving me when there is still so much work to do with raising our children
to adulthood. Angry that I have to face the rest of life alone. Just ticked! I
wanted to scream, but instead I took our dog Piper for a walk. Upon returning,
I was ready to spend some time alone with God and pour out my frustrations. “Are
you ready for an earful?” Yet, somehow as soon as I hit my knees, all the anger
and frustration dissipated. My tears were tears of awe and wonder as I
contemplated the fact that I can enter the presence of God. Do you get what a
big deal that is? I mean, this is the GOD! Yahweh, Jehovah, Adonai! He is too
awesome to fully comprehend and I am too finite to even begin to understand.
I am completely humbled by the
fact that I am loved so completely by the God who rules the universe. I am but
a cosmic speck. I am nothing! Yet God
loves me as if I am everything! Today, instead of letting anger, frustration,
or grief control and manipulate your emotions, focus on the fact that this same
God loves you immensely.
