Sometimes, I sit alone in pity for myself,
but,
all the while,
the breath of God wafts me across the great, vast, universe.
I forget how His favor bathes my life with beautiful wonders
and how He shows me great mercy.
I forget that I am never forgotten, always loved, never alone.
Sometimes I forget, in lonely sorrow for myself,
that the Creator’s hand has carried me,
in caring pity,
in sympathy,
across majestic mountains,
past lakes of stars,
and high up,
into peace,
into the moon-washed Valley of Sparkling Waters
where He has shown me my final – and eternal – campsite.
Sometimes I sit in pity for myself
While my self is away with the Great Father,
dancing with unfettered joy.

We are prone to forgetfulness, aren’t we? Beautifully presented, gloryteller. Yet we are never forgotten by our Lord. You tell His faithfulness expertly. Blessings to you, Len.

I was going to say “His recall is always perfect”, then I realized He doesn’t need recall! All things, and everyone, are always on His mind! Thank you, Carol Ann. Reciprocal blessings upon you!

Thank you, Juli! I wish you could too, but, actually, my voice is better on paper than in speaking. 🙂

Oooh how this resonates with me. The good Lord knows the number of times I have sat in self pity. The Lord, has a gentle way of reminding me that it’s not about me. It’s about him.
When I shift my focus, I find my self pity leaving.
Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings.
