Just me trying to be honest with God.

We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth. Virginia Satir

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” Ps.27.1 ESV

It would be great if we only had to say these words one time for them to take root in our heart but most of us have to keep telling ourselves these things with every new trial. So, let us declare these precious promises every time they are needed, for it is good to bolster one’s faith before battle. Maintenance is one of those things that accompany life. And whether we like it or not, the need to uphold belief reflects the wisdom of the author and finisher of our faith. We might as well get accustomed to the fact, that like most things, our faith needs to be strengthened and supported every day. All the unknowns that approach us in the next hour keep us looking to God this very minute. If we cannot appreciate the value of these trials let us at least praise the wisdom that designed life this way. 3/24/2009 Conversations Within ts
