the last line of the verse is the coolest.

"As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me! For evils have encompassed me beyond number; my iniquities have overtaken me, and i cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head; my heart fails me. Be pleased, O Lord to deliver me! O Lord, make haste to help me!" psalm 40:11-13

My very good friend was talking about something she had heard in a message. I forgot exactly what she said but it went along the lines of needing to repent and ask for forgiveness with every day. It was surprisingly a new thought, or rather a new understanding, for me. And okay, so even after hearing it, i've been needing to do a lot of this lately. i didn't agree to have a relationship with Jesus if all i was going to do was be distant with him. So here i am to give thanks and praise to my Lord who spent the last few days feeding me new mercies when and even because i was busy creating space between us. Still he remains with a patience i wish i could fully understand. "For this God is our God for ever and ever. He will be our guide even to the end."
