Here is what I do know for sure.
God is good, but that doesn't mean He owes me something.
Even when I am doing the right thing, He doesn't owe me anything.
There is no dance I can perform to get what I want/need from Him.
He knows our needs.
He knows our hearts.
I want to respond in faith, not fear.
I'm borrowing these words from someone's blog. I don't know them and they don't know me, but the words were just so full of truth, and they seemed to come straight from where I am...

So I emailed you this evening, before I even saw this! God is good, I deserve nothing I get, yet He continually responds, in love to my cries.
I love it! I was thinking of you and our conversation when I posted this...and then I got your email!
He is so amazing, each new time!
The Return of the Prodigal (Henri Nouwen)is a book that *finally* imparted this "knowing" to my deepest heart... oh, i "understood" with my mind... i even "claimed" with my voice... but until the Heart of the Father reached forth and overshadowed my own, i was unable to truly grasp this...
i still forget... so thanks, sus, for the reminder...
