PITY
Today's reading: Psalm 72-74

"He feels pity for the weak and the needy, and he will rescue them." Psalm 72:13 NLT

I'll admit, this self-sufficient gal doesn't like the idea of someone feeling sorry for me! I don't like pity parties and I don't like what seems like charity being sent my way. Pity is defined as a strong feeling of sadness, sympathy or disappointment.

But...

When I think of who I am in comparison to Who He is, I feel very, very sorry for myself!

I cannot hold the planets in place.

I have never been able to form mountain ranges.

I have not the ability to craft bone, tissue, muscle and souls from strands of DNA.

I cannot manufacture the air I so desperately need to survive.

I am incapable of creating seeds, causing them to sprout and bringing forth food from the dirt.

I cannot remind my heart to beat.

I cannot on days when my behavior is peak save myself from the sins I allow into my life.

I haven't got it in me to impress God in the least.

I'm so glad God felt sorry for me and sent His Only Son.

We're all weak, needy children depending heart, soul, mind and body on our Father!
