I know, Lord , that your laws are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me. May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant.
Psalm 119:75-76 NIV
Sometimes when we read God's word it stings. I'm so far from being who I should be...or we look at what God says about something and find it hard to follow. It's simply not what we want to do.
Not sure what's going on in the psalmists life but he says:
God you are good.
But what you say hurts.
I know you love me.
Show me that today.
I still choose you.
No matter what...God is Unfailing Love.
When He is silent, unfathomable, when things are good, or not going our way...Unfailing Love.

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
