God's collection of tear bottles ...

Priceless!
Thou has taken account of my wonderings;
Put my tears in Thy bottle;
Are they not in Thy Book?
~ps 56:8

15 "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
       and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
       Though she may forget,
       I will not forget you!

    16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands;
~Isa 49:15-16

Sometimes we lose hope and assume He will forget because we forget. Yet, He remembers. He's omniscient. He's the All-Knowing One. He never forgets His promises. He never forgets His people. He knows everything. He knows how I am doing, what I am doing and why I am doing it. He knows what happened yesturday, what almost happened today, and what shouldn't happen tomorrow. God watches the whole of our lives and jots it down on His heavenly chart. I don't know if he carries a clip board or a lap-top computer, but He sees everything and forgets nothing.

Dearest Heavenly Father,
You so bring to me what I need to hear in the time I need it most. Heavy and many where my tears today. They rolled and quaked my being. You caught every fast wet tear that streamed down my cheeks. You are the Master of the Storm and I can hide in You. When You envelope me in Your Everlasting Arms, I put my hands in Yours and feel my named etched there for eternity.

I so cannot figure out this relationship thing. I fail every time. No wonder I found solace in my bike and books when I was a little girl. Now grown up no wonder I find excape in painting, expression in writing, and when in pain I seek refuge in books. I ordered 5 yesturday and can't wait to cover myself in the pages. Thank You for Your Words, They comfort and heal my battered and wounded heart.

I have some mending words of my own to send to the damaged company in this broken relationship. I seek Your Wisdom and Your Words as I honor his independence and to create a blessing fitting to empower him on his life. We were once good friends and bonded siblings. I am not sure I can expose my heart anymore to his ... I invite You. I seek You. Your StoreHouse is full.
~ always Your lamb .. trembling & tearful
