I told God, I told YOU:
"I am afraid, for inside of me I feel things I don't understand, and sometimes I feel like I can't bear it any longer."
You told me:
"Do not fear, for you WILL NOT be ashamed; Nor be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame."¹
Me:
"What about all my mistakes that I feel won't go away?"
You:
"..you Will forget the shame of your youth, and will not remember the reproach of your widowhood Anymore."¹
Me:
"Is there anyone that could accept me just as I am? Even after knowing me fully?"
You:
I, your Maker, am your Husband. The Lord of Hosts is My name. I am your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth.²
Me:
"How is it that you are so consistent - so unfailing in your love for me?"
You:
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways.³ For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts."⁴
Me:
Surely "Great peace have those who love your law and Nothing causes them to stumble."<sup>5
