Ever had that day. . . .

when you just don’t feel like writing? You don’t know what you’d say if you did.

You just feel tired and anxious and lacking. You hit snooze three times. You eat breakfast, muddle through a Scripture passage, and go for a run.

And you can’t get a Scripture out of your mind:

Psalm 72:14 in the Message: He frees them from tyranny and torture— when they bleed, he bleeds; when they die, he dies.

Psalm 72:14 in HCSB: He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their lives are precious in his sight.

I needed to know I was precious today. I asked for it in prayer.

And God, who has done so much to make His love know to me, was faithful to answer.

Again.
