Thoughts on Mai's Sermon

Mai really spoke to me at last night's worship service. I realized--and still do the next morning--that I would have crumbled like a house of cards years ago had God ever forsaken me. But no! God loves me so much that He continues to guide and bless me, even after all the times I screwed up and wound up in "Egypt." And I've screwed up a lot. In fact, I've wound up in "Egypt" so many times that they've made me an honorary citizen.

But God has blessed me so richly! And I am amazed that after all the times I have failed God, that I've ignored His guidance, that I've wandered off The Path and into the Weeds, that I have wandered off The Path and into the Valley of Thorns, God has NEVER forsaken me and continues to love me.
