A couple of things I have learned in my weeks of rest:
1. I royally suck in the aspect of trust. Seriously. Help me to overcome my unbelief!
2. I'm loved the way I could hardly dare to dream of, by the King. How can I possibly complain about weariness from pouring out my own heart with no response, when day by day He holds his hands out to a disobedient and obstinate people? And more than that, he gives me, one of these both disobedient and obstinate people, incredibly beautiful, intimate moments, that show a very special love - He knows my heart, and loves me still.
3. When I grow irritated with someone, whether or not they are acting like Christ, my impatience isn't right or good or noble. My bad attitude does not make anything better. So I have one of two options: I can choose to fume and grow bitter, or I can ask Christ help me offer grace to them, the same way he continually offers it to me.
