Faith
Hear and give ear;
be not proud,
for the Lord has spoken.
Give glory to the Lord your God
before He brings darkness,
before your feet stumble
on the twilight mountains...
[Jerermiah 13:15-16]

"I'm still having trouble
with THAT -
- and You, Lord."
"What, child."
"THAT. You know...."
"What, child."
"You know; THAT."
[SILENCE.]
"I don't feel like
saying it."
"Ah. I see."
"YOU know what I mean."
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
"Lord;
You're
supposed to know all
our thoughts, anyhow."
[NOD.]
"So, why do I have to say it?"
"What, child."
"You know; this THING I've got."
"What is it, My precious."
"Well, why do I have to SAY it?"
"Read My Word, child."
"Uh. Yeah, okay. Here it is:
The Lord is slow to anger,
and abounding in steadfast love...
[Numbers 14:18]
So....like, You have a lot'a
patience."
[NOD]
"So, I guess You're still
waiting, huh."
[NOD.]
"It's been a half a century, Lord."
"And, more."
"Oy! Please! Must You give
EVERYTHING away?"
[SMILE]
"It's just very hard for me
to say it, Lord."
"Yes, child.
I know."
"It......just makes me feel
very uncomfortable."
"What is, child?"
"My pride."
****************************
But if you will not listen,
my soul will weep
in secret for your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly
and run down with tears;
because the Lord's flock
has been taken captive;
Say to the king
and the queen mother;
take a lowly seat.
[Jeremiah 13:
