They refused to obey and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them, but they stiffened their neck and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them.
-Nehemiah 9:17
It's incomprehensible, this love You have. I turn away. I try and fail. I openly rebel. Yet your love still pursues. Still forgives.
We don't know forgiveness like this on earth. We hold grudges. We can't forget. We build up walls. Trust must be rebuilt. But not so with You.
Slow to anger. Abounding in steadfast love. Gracious. Merciful. Ready to forgive. God is.

He who forms my heart
He who fashions the hearts of them all
and observes all their deeds.
- Psalm 33:15
If You formed it, You know what it needs.
I can trust that You will provide the desires of my heart and change my heart to please You and save me.
You form my heart.
You have my heart.
and observes all their deeds.
- Psalm 33:15
If You formed it, You know what it needs.
I can trust that You will provide the desires of my heart and change my heart to please You and save me.
You form my heart.
You have my heart.
