WITHOUT HOLDING BACK
Today's reading: Psalm 73-77

"I cry out to God without holding back..." Psalm 77:1 NLT

That's the relationship I have with God.

The kind where everything is on the table.

No emotion is dismissed, attempted to cover over or not discussed.

The good ones, the bad ones--and the ugly ones.

The ones that have my hands raised and my lips singing praises.

The emotions I have a hard time putting into words, or the ones I am embarrassed to hear myself say out loud.

And the feelings that leave me mad, sad, disappointed, questioning and broken hearted.

I tell God everything.

And He still loves me!

I have never felt as if He has allowed His jaw to hit the floor in disbelief or His eyes to roll in disgust or His love to waiver even though the emotions I share aren't godly, aren't kind or aren't something to be proud of.

Without holding back.

And that's how His grace and mercy are showered on me!
