i guess the big thing in my life right now is trying to figure out what it looks like to accept His love and His grace - even though i don't and i can't understand it the teeniest bit.
i had a big long post about it, but what it comes down to is i saw myself in the story of Gomer. she didn't understand Hosea's love, so she packed up and left. his response blew me away, because he went and sat outside her lover's house and waited for her. when she came out, he took her by the hand and led her home.
that's God's love, there. a pretty clear picture of it. not entirely clear, because it's not going to be down here. and i still don't get it. but i'm trying to live in it.
