"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion?
Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life.
I'll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

v. 13
"The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both."

v. 18
"Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law."

I am thinking of our God, and the spread of his hand over the whole world.
How small are we in comparison to this hand, the hand that holds the world and its universe within it.

Father God is God over everything, good and bad.
Sovereignty is not selective, that is not the nature of sovereignty.

God gives sight to both good and bad... a thought like that easily leads to our ideas of fairness...
Is it fair that both the poor man and the oppressor get sight?
Would it not be better for the oppressor to be blind?

I find those arguments quite useless.

The point is, accepting the existence and presence of God also means accepting his status, and his power as God.

I wonder if these beliefs of mine will hold always.
I know full well they are fragile, and I know they waver, because I know I am weak.

But God would you give me revelation, and bless me when I keep the law.
I am trying right now merely to understand it, to learn it, but Father will you reveal it to me, since given to me is the secret of your Kingdom, Jesus Christ...

I am learning.
And I am here.

Thank you for allowing me to be family.
