Remember?

Remember God? How He is always there. How He never leaves, not ever. How He cannot fail.
How He loves and loves and loves and loves and loves. And how He searches and doesn't stop until he finds. And how He collects hearts and fragments and pieces and puts them back together and it seems like He's just mending something that's been broken...but when He puts in that final piece, it will not only be complete. It will be new. And how He promises so many good things... and because He is the Author and Finisher of those promises, there is no way we will be disappointed.

And the soothing and the comfort and the hope along the way. Remember that?
Will He ever stop doing good? He can't! He is only good. There is no darkness in Him, no lurking disdain or disapproval. He sees us as we are and accepts... and yet there is this overlay of purity and perfection that He places upon us. And He sees us through that filter. And it's so beautiful. He is filled with happy thoughts and oh how much He delights in His children.

Remember.

Thank you for that reminder. It was a message in a bottle that washed up on this deserted island I seemed to have found myself on.

I think I'll go lie down in my hammock under two coconut trees and read it again.

Hooray for the love-siesta and our right-on-time God.
