“But you, O Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts my head high” (Psalm 3:3) NLT.
Ashamed. Embarrassed. Disgusted. Frustrated. Exasperated. Depleted. Despairing.
In desperation I sought Him. In awe I approached Him. In humility I bowed. In tears I confessed. In need I asked.
He accepted what little I had to offer. He drew me near, despite the smell of my sins. He held me close—so close that I bore the imprint of His robe on my cheek. He lovingly lifted my face towards Him saying, “Chin up, daughter—you’re mine!”
Honor. Gratitude. Peace. Joy. Relief. Rest. Security.
