I remember being 6 or 7, and seriously wondering if I had been adopted. I did not fit in with my family. I was so different. Years later, I discovered something which showed me I may not have been too far off the mark! But today, as I sat to pray, reading Scripture, it occurred to me to ask how I could be of this world? This is not where I was meant to be. I want to be Home with my Father. I want to be Home.
How do I live now so that can eventually happen? My faults are great and my sins are many, and I see nothing around me right now that shows a path, a way, a light. How do I find my way to trust in God again?
These are just questions I ask myself, as I long so for my Lord. I know and believe in His Mercy, without which I would be completely lost. I see my own wretchedness and see how great it is. . . but I KNOW that God's Mercy is ever so much greater than my wretchedness - and because of that I can continue living as best as I can, with His Grace, growing closer and closer to Him and my ultimate goal.
