What a beautiful article. Thank you for sharing yet another one. Anyone who feels their faith is being tested would feel better after reading this. Thank you again.
John, as long as you don’t pee on the furniture legs, I’m sure you’ll be ok. (Wonder what God uses instead of rolled up newspaper to smack our …) Bless you!
What am I …?"
THANK YOU, MASTER, FOR LOVING ME IN SPITE OF MY FAULTS;
FOR TAKING ME BACK WHEN I HAVE GONE ASTRAY;
FOR TAKING CARE OF MY EVERY NEED.
I, TOO, LOVE YOU --BLINDLY... TOTALLY... FIERCELY.
I WILL DEDICATE MY LIFE TO HONORING YOU, SERVING YOU, PROTECTING YOU.
I WILL STRIVE TO DEFEND YOU FROM THOSE WHO WOULD OFFEND OR ATTACK YOU,
I WILL BE EVER MINDFUL THAT YOUR WILL AND NOT MINE "BE DONE",
AND THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THERE TO "LEAD ME NOT INTO TEMPTATION,
BUT DELIVER ME FROM EVIL".
I SHALL NOT WORRY WHAT I SHALL EAT OR DRINK, MASTER;
HOW OR WHERE I SHALL LIVE; OR WHAT I SHALL DO
--SO LONG AS I KNOW YOU RULE MY LIFE.
YOU WILL ALWAYS PROVIDE, MASTER. MY LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS.
I AM NOTHING; YOU ARE EVERYTHING --THAT'S ALL I NEED TO KNOW.
I WILL FOLLOW THEE, MASTER, ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE,
AND HOPE TO LIVE IN YOUR HOUSE FOREVER, MY LORD.
NOW, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE PET ME. GIVE ME A BONE.
I'LL WAG MY TAIL, LICK YOUR HAND AND QUIT YAPPING…!

Beautiful sentiments, John! It resonates with me, too.
It's very humbling to realize that God and His universe love me and want to take care of me...simply because I exist. 🌺

Hey, maybe. After Harris lost, Cardi B said that why some states have hurricanes…
Mark says it all https://youtu.be/s04ZeV2s4Gk?si=WdLVGwzt7_s_Hj-d
He wants to spend eternity with me
He wants to spend eternity with me
Of all the things that puzzle me
I can’t understand
The God of all eternity
Wants to spend the rest of it with me
1 John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.
