Offenses

Offenses are an opportunity to learn where your love borders end....and to have them stretched out with help from the Father's love....should you choose to say yes and accept your mission. (Cue Mission Impossible music here)
I just woke up in a stinking muddy puddle of cynicism today. You would think you would feel that, but in retrospect it makes sense...if your not letting yourself love, the rest of your senses are pretty dead too. You can't be alive without love. I was thinking how it only took me 54 years to get this hard, and He has been loving for ages past. Since man began and sinned, He has loved, and not given up on mankind. What kind of God is this that loves like that?!
My humanity gives me a headache...often. I'm tired of being so "wrong." But....maybe it just points out how "right" and "good" and "beautiful" He IS. I'm not such a great example but I am an excellant poster child. Like Paul, I will boast in my weakness because He is my sufficiency.
Lord, I'm signing back up for love. I know....it's a blank contract....we don't know who your going to ask us to love and whether they will ever love us back. As long as I have Yours, it makes the mission possible. Take this rock in my chest Lord, and make it tender once more. Amen.
