..you know....you've been running on empty inside, over the past year.
but i, i know your heart, and its desire to do what's right. i see it.
and this year ahead, it will be a year of refreshment, and restoration for you.
it will not be a year of failure...
God, you know the road ahead of me.
i only ask that You would hold me close,
and keep me on the path, no matter what.
even for the times i complain and sulk and bemoan,
be patient with me, and have mercy,
for i know and see only so much.
You know better than i.

Loaded with Love
“He…loads me with love and mercy.”
Psalm 103:4
It’s time to let God’s love cover all things in your life. All secrets. All hurts. All hours of evil, minutes of worry.
The morning you awoke in the bed of a stranger? His love will cover that. The years you peddled prejudice and pride? His love will cover that. Every promise broken, drug taken, penny stolen. Every cross word, cuss word, and harsh word. His love covers all things.
Let it. Discover along with the psalmist: “He…loads me with love and mercy.” Picture a giant dump truck full of love. There you are behind it. God lifts the bed until the love starts to slide. Slowly at first, then down, down, down until you are hidden, buried, covered in his love.
“Hey, where are you?” someone asks.
“In here, covered in love.”
