love

It is weird.. I feel very emotionally wrung out at the moment but aware that God is here, that He is very near

.. to the broken hearted

it means a great deal to me that God is here and it is not that He is doing anything more than being there and walking beside me and respecting my pain - He is there but not pushing it because He gets that this is going to be a slow process. And thats ok with Him and that means so much to me, that He will wait til I am ready and I get the feeling that even if I never am He will wait for me
In this place of hurt it is a fragile relationship with Him, I havent trusted God with this hurt before so it is very careful and the steps are like testing the water. He is being so gentle and respectful with me, with this.
It is hard to put into words how much I appreciate Him being patient and loving me by waiting for me to come to Him knowing that it is very difficult. He understands that and respects that about me

We love Him because He first loved us.

.. it's hard not to be thankful and grateful for His compassion, mercy and love and to not love Him because of His powerful but so gentle and loving presence with me
