"King David went in, took his place before God, and prayed: "Who am I, my Master God, and what is my family, that you have brought me to this place in life? But that's nothing compared to what's coming, for you've also spoken of my family far into the future, given me a glimpse into tomorrow, my Master God! What can I possibly say in the face of all this? You know me, Master God, just as I am. You've done all this not because of who I am but because of who you are—out of your very heart!—but you've let me in on it." 2 Samuel 7:18-21 The Message
Sometimes I get to thinking that it is all about me. It's not.
God, you have blessed me so awesomely, please help me to remember that you are my source and I should come to you for everything.
I just love David's story in the Bible. I am reminded that even the best fall down sometimes, and it will all be okay when it does happen, if you give it up to God. God is always with us, always. It is never Him that leaves us, but us that leave Him.
I also love how no matter where I am reading in the Bible, God speaks to me. He talks to my very heart out of His own. Try it sometime, keep your heart open, and it will appear.

I like David's story, also. Amazing that he had such a blessed life after he was forgiven his sins (Bathsheba).
Great pic!
