I come and go as I please. Do what I want when I feel like it. I don’t seek anyone’s permission or approval. I have a mind and a will of my own.

And this causes a problem in relationships. It’s only now that I realize how selfish I've been and how much I’ve been hurting Him.

As unfaithful as I’ve been, He’s never left my side. He’s been patient, never giving up hope on me.

And I find myself asking, “So what is it that You want from me? I can only offer mere scraps, and how can that ever be enough to repay You for what You’ve given me?”

I sit silently waiting for an answer. And this is what He says:

“Give me your bruised and weary heart. Offer up your brokenness and your humility. Place your trust in Me and know that I hold You in the palm of My hands. Acknowledge that you are My child and I, your faithful Father.”

This, my Lord, I pray You will help me do each and every day of my life.
