"because you're a sheperd"

"How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and everyday have sorrow in my heart?  
How long will my enemy triumph over me?"  Pslam 13:2


God keeps asking me, "What do you obsess over?  What occupies your mind?  What do you think about when you wake up and when you go to sleep?"  Cause He knows my heart.  And he knows my thoughts.  And he knows it isn't Him.  But He wants it to be.  I'm so sinful though.  I struggle every moment.  I am so deep in sin and hate righteousness and love the world.  When I read his word I identify more with the Pharisees and Marthas in the Bible than the saints.  I sometimes feel like its hopeless.  That I'll never truly and fully give my life to Him as he has commanded.  I hate that I fail time and time again.  But then he speaks to me again.  He speaks his Love and Mercy and blesses me with His comfort.  He will never fail.  I am nothing but He is everything.  He is my savior, is and always will be.

"BUT I TRUST IN YOUR UNFAILING LOVE, MY HEART REJOICES IN YOUR SALVATION.  I WILL SING TO THE LORD FOR HE HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME."  Psalm 13:5
