Then I realized that my heart was bitter, and I was all torn up inside.
I was so foolish and ignorant— I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you. Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth.My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever. Psalm 73:10-12Sometimes when my mind and heart become a tangled mess of bitterness, foolishness and ignorance, I think of a skein of yarn that some evil person has knotted beyond usability.  Is this what God sees in this weak human who forgets her destiny?  Is the tangled mess of my heart knotted with living but  wants to belong to you be changed? Yes, by the renewing of the mind and the knowing where my heart lies.  Where can I find strength to go on?  It is in God alone!!!In the depth of despair, I still know that there is no one else.  In the darkest of nights, I simply look to the sky and thank God.  I thank Him for placing the lights that testify to the message of Jesus Christ, I am the Way, the Truth and the Light!  Learning to trust His Way, to believe His Truth and to see the Light makes possible living in this world.  Living through His Strength gives us the courage and the strength to finish this life victoriously.There is nothing that we can hide from God.  He knows our inner most being, our thoughts and our desires.  We can depend on God forever and always.  He created the stars and calls them out, calling each one by name, is the One in whom I delight and trust with my life.  Each day I count my blessings and name them one by one.  God-given, God-protected, God-loved.  I am His and He is mine always.“To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal?” asks the Holy One.
Look up into the heavens. Who created all the stars?
He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name.
Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing.
O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights? Isaiah 40:25-27
