Psalm 73:21-24
"Then I realized how bitter I had become, how pained I had been by all I had seen. I was so foolish and ignorant. I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you. Yet I still belong to you; you are holding my right hand. You will keep on guiding me w/ your counsil, leading me to a glorious destiny."
If I had come across this not knowing that it was a passage from the Bible I would have thought it was a letter to someone's close friend they had been upset with and later realized they had been wrong.
"Then I realized how bitter I had become, how pained I had been by all I had seen." Shame
"I was so foolish and ignorant." Regret
"I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you." Embarrassement
"Yet I still belong to you." Disbelief
"You are holding my right hand." Comfort
"You will keep on guiding me with your counsel, leading me to glorious destiny." Praise
There are many heated conversations I wish I could take back. There are many people I wish I could turn to and find the same comfort here on earth that I find in Christ. People will always dissappoint us.
Christ never fails. No matter what I do or how many mistakes I make, I still belong to Him. Even if I try to pull my hand away from his, like a child having a tantrum, he won't let go. And, when I have succeeded in pulling my hand from His and got myself lost, He stayed where I left Him so that I knew where to find Him.
I visualize myself crying and angry and trying to pull away from Him and all the while he has my hand in His leading me to His purpose for me. If I can just remember to stop fighting, dry my eyes, take deep breaths and let Him lead me, I'll get there alot faster.
