“I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.” -Psalm 116:1-2 (NIV)
when I talk to god I usually feel heard. I feel like I can always turn to him for anything, no matter how big the mess is that I'm in, no matter how much that mess is entirely my fault.
I think sometimes the answer to my cry for mercy is, "well now Jonathan, you have to suffer these consequences, but I will suffer then with you." maybe having to face the challenges presented by my own choices is somehow true mercy...
...or maybe it's that I never have to face them alone.
