Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise - the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Hebrews 13:15-16

My feelings are hurt...
Someone said something. Someone did something. Something happened....I just don't understand it. I can't figure it out but my feelings are hurt. I sulk. I ponder. I try to work out the details in my mind. I try to make sense of it. I complain about it...yep I complain about it over and over and over. I complain to God. Why? Why this...why me...for what purpose? Yep...there might be a purpose. I complain and I complain to God. I ask for the perfect outcome. I don't deserve the perfect outcome. I'm not "more" than the person next to me who wants the same perfect outcome. I'm not "special" in any way. I'm just like anyone else. My feelings get hurt by the simplest things and I want to complain to God to fix them when time and time again his feelings are hurt by me. My words, my actions, my motives...and I expect to never get hurt. I expect to walk through life with no disappointment when I disappoint my Heavenly Father daily. I deserve no different than the next. I deserve no more than anyone else. I deserve the worst. But then ...there is grace. Gods infinite grace poured out on me daily in everything around me and I miss it. I miss all the good things especially the little things because I'm too busy complaining. God is so good. His grace and mercy are poured out on me daily. May I rejoice in his blessings. May I rejoice in his greatness. May I look ahead at the things to come and the things right in front of me. May I let go of the things of the past. They cannot change. They cannot be undone...but they can be forgotten. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise God for the life given. Praise God for the trials and struggles that will make us draw closer to Him. His love endures forever...even when I don't deserve it!
