I come and go as I please. Do what I want when I feel like it. I don�t seek anyone�s permission or approval. I have a mind and a will of my own.

And this causes a problem in relationships. It�s only now that I realize how selfish I've been and how much I�ve been hurting Him.

As unfaithful as I�ve been, He�s never left my side. He�s been patient, never giving up hope on me.

And I find myself asking, �So what is it that You want from me? I can only offer mere scraps, and how can that ever be enough to repay You for what You�ve given me?�

I sit silently waiting for an answer. And this is what He says:

�Give me your bruised and weary heart. Offer up your brokenness and your humility. Place your trust in Me and know that I hold You in the palm of My hands. Acknowledge that you are My child and I, your faithful Father.�

This, my Lord, I pray You will help me do each and every day of my life.
