Blessing

I picked up my Bible this morning for devotion and I turned randomly and I came across Psalms 116. Oh my, just what I needed!

I love the Lord because He hath heard my voice and my supplications.
Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

Psalms 116: 1-15

That's not the whole chapter, but yeah...it was pretty awesome coming across that because that's just what I had been feeling for awhile..


Here's another quote that I came across that I just want to post up so I can remember it:
"Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth." - Benjamin Disraeli
