Psalm 119: 73-80

Yodh

⁷³ Your hands made me and formed me;
give me understanding to learn your commands.

⁷⁴ May those who fear you rejoice when they see me,
for I have put my hope in your word.

⁷⁵ I know, O LORD, that your laws are righteous,
and in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

⁷⁶ May your unfailing love be my comfort,
according to your promise to your servant.

⁷⁷ Let your compassion come to me that I may live,
for your law is my delight.

⁷⁸ May the arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause;
but I will meditate on your precepts.

⁷⁹ May those who fear you turn to me,
those who understand your statutes.

⁸⁰ May my heart be blameless toward your decrees,
that I may not be put to shame.

Your hands have formed me, You created me, just as I am. Man, it is great to know that He created me, He formed, all of me, even the parts of me that I don’t like, such as my feet. He created me. I cannot get over that…

And then I come to “May your unfailing love be my comfort…” and I want to finish the sentence like this… “May your unfailing love be my comfort, when I look in the mirror and not like what I see.” Or this “May your unfailing love be my comfort, when my heart is broken by the ways of the world.”

And if you can believe it, there is MORE…

“Let your compassion come to me, that I may lice”… First, I was created by Him, all of me was created by Him, then His love for what He created, which is me, is unfailing. AND THEN, I get compassion too!

My prayer is that my heart may be blameless in return for all He has done for me and given me. Man, HE IS GOOD and I LOVE HIM!
