I do so appreciate your openness to God here, Susan. Things are hard for you, but I can see God at work in your heart and it is so beautiful.

Last night I only heard the first half of the sermon and I must admit that I felt rather hopeless. I determined to bring it all before the Lord today but as I listen to the remaining I see that she gives the wondrous answer. It is His love! Of course it is! Now I see why you thought of me Dee.

10. I began to listen to the sermon last night. Dee, your encouragement caused me to look deep. I might otherwise have allowed that arrow to glance off but as it is, it went straight to my heart. I am so thankful for it because I was coming to an impasse with my heart, especially in relationship to my husband.
It would be easy to blow this off and move on but I sense an opportunity for me here, and so I plan to take a pure Sabbath today, taking this to the Lord. The thing that touches me so deeply from the sermon is that until now I have been loathing myself rather than my sin.
While we were at the beach I began to read A Severe Mercy. I have been putting off reading that book and in fact, I only picked it up when I had read all the others. It brought dissatisfaction with my marriage, which I knew it would but I think the Lord is showing me how to turn that to Him for it is the relationship He desires with me, a relationship of knowing and being known, of complete trust. Just the thought of it brings me to tears.
Sorry if this is a bit disjointed. I have to put it all together.

Susan, your takeaway was wonderful-your focus on God’s love leading you to repentance, melting your heart. Also what you shared as to what God is showing you. Your heart so often encourages me.
