Psalm 51 Verse 7

For behold you look for truth deep within me, and will make me understand wisdom secretly

You know me better than I know myself. don’t always look at myself that clearly. Maybe because of being afraid of what I might see. There are parts of me that I don’t like at all. Yet even when I can’t seem to do the right thing you still love me. I am comforted by the truth that you love me more than life itself as you choose to give up your life for me.

Prayer: God of Wisdom help me to see myself clearly. Speak to my soul and guide me in the right path. Give me the grace of your Holy Spirit. AMEN

Gossip

by worrylessjourney, posted in accountable, understand, understanding

I just remembered a story that I must have heard on a TV show. It was powerful but didn’t get into my quote book. I have been too stressed to see aha’s when they come at me. I want to share it here and am sorry that I can’t tell you where I saw it.

A woman felt guilty about some gossip that she had passed on and went to ask her priest to confess and ask for forgiveness. He told her to go home and take a pillow from her bed and go to the roof of the building with scissors or a knife. She was to rip holes in the pillow and come back to him. She did what he asked and went back to see him. He asked her “what did you see?” She said “feathers flying everywhere.” He said “go back and find all those feathers.” She protested that it would be impossible.

He replied. “That is what happens to gossip.”
