this is so hard. I feel that way so often. This passage has been relevant to me, not sure it helps…hope Im not hijacking…
What misery is mine!
I am like one who gathers summer fruit
at the gleaning of the vineyard;
there is no cluster of grapes to eat,
none of the early figs that I crave.
The godly have been swept from the land;
not one upright man remains.
All men lie in wait to shed blood;
each hunts his brother with a net.
Do not gloat over me, my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will rise.
Though I sit in darkness,
the LORD will be my light.
Because I have sinned against him,
I will bear the LORD’s wrath,
until he pleads my case
and establishes my right.
He will bring me out into the light;
I will see his righteousness.
Then my enemy will see it
and will be covered with shame,
the whole chapter really – from a meditation posture.
Sometimes you can’t see the fruit of what you believe.
David, you have more fruit than you think. There are people out here like me that have been impacted by the beliefs that you have dared to share on your blog.
Thanks. Praying for you. Stay naked. I’m almost naked!
David Hayward is a pastor artistically stripping to the essential.
Yep. That about says it! At least for me most of the time.
man that’s got my taste buds going, looks tasty!!

I get it.

I was born naked.
Being naked makes you very vulnerable. Some of us find it hard to wear a mask, even in order to protect ourselves.
Hey, someone’s eaten the ‘fruit of belief’ – probably Adam again. He couldn’t handle being naked for long.
