Lately I have been feeling sort of down. For the first time in a long time life just doesn't appear to be good. There are always problems, but right now I just have that feeling that the world isn't good. As I have been frustrated and confused I have also been very disappointed. I don't want to go into all my thoughts because they used to call people heretics and kick them out of the church for similar ones. I will say this, that I have been encouraged. Yesterday I was in my buddies room and he was on the phone. I was bored and his bible was just laying out there. If you have been around me much you know I have to be fidgeting with something every second of my life. So I started fidgeting with his bible, just flipping the pages back and forth. For some reason I stopped on one page and I saw that there was something highlighted. I looked to see what he thought was important enough to set apart and I felt unexpectedly encouraged. Or as Wesley would say "my heart was strangely warmed." Anyways, here is what I read.
My Son, do not forget my teachings
For they will prolong your life with many years
And bring you prosperity
Let love and faithfulness never leave you
Bind them around your neck
And write them on the tablet of your heart
The you will win favor and a good name
In the sight of God and man
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And lean not on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:1-5
Let love and faithfulness never leave you.
