Grace to Blush

He loves me. I know.

He tests me. Tests my love for Him. Tests my sensibilities. Tests my sensitivities.

He shows me a preference. An indication that I am among the chosen few from amongst the teeming multitude.

He shows me respect in the eyes of the lout who who yanks poor arms before hurtling them this way or that.

He loves me, I know.

Thank you God, for the gift of Grace to blush.

Dear Shankari...your words touch me. You have a gift...thank you for sharing.

Sorry I don't make it by too often, but life has interrupted my life. I needed this reminder today, perhaps every day.

Ciao bella...

i think His greatest glory is His infinite, unconditional love for all His children.

"He shows me a preference. An indication that I am among the chosen few from amongst the teeming multitude."

and that, is his speciality - to make EVERY single one of us feel we are special, that we are dearest to Him, that we are among the chosen ones.

am absolutely touched by your post :)

Anon,

waawaa? weewee? ouioui?

Dharmab,

Yea, its amazing how each one of us can be so oblivious to all around us when we feel His presence! to be able to block out the lout who pushes with obvious sadistic relish, the people who are pushed, yet unmoved...

:)

When its a time for Grace, it's a time to pause, a time to muse, a time to thank... for Life itself!

the greatest gift I have earned from HIM and still earning is patience... SIGH... and I love it...
