Oh friend, how thankful I am that our friendship isn't based on the amount of time we hangout or our love for each other based upon how often we talk; because if either one of them were they would both be virtually non-existent. But what is so crazy about all this is I wonder how my maker must feel when my priorities are messed up and I don't spend time with him for days or weeks or even if I don't talks with him for days or even just a few hours. And yet... his love is unconditional and completely unchanging.
Man, Jesus, thanks for teaching me lessons like this through friendships like this one. What is scary to me though is how often I do this to you and don't realize it until much later if ever. How is that you still have expectations for me when I have disappointed you too many times to count? And how is it that you never give up on me? And you never will give up on me?

My prayer via Psalm 130
Father, out of the depths I am crying to you Lord; hear my voice God! Listen to my prayers and be attentive to what my heart is feeling and crying oh Lord. If you painted out all of my shortcomings and sin, I would fall; but instead you forgive me so much so that I fear You. Lord I wait for Your; I command my soul to wait. I find my hope in Your word as my soul waits for You. My heart and soul wait more than those that wait for the morning, oh so much more than they. Lord, my hope is going to be found in You; because with You there is mercy and with You there is an abundance of redemption. Lord, You will redeem me from all my short comings and sins.

Fullness
With the fullness of Your joy comes peace.
And with the fullness of Your joy and Your peace;
Oh those are a powerful combination
Because with joy from God and peace from above;
Come souls, lives changed forever.
