What I Read & What I Thought

I read: Are we not aware that God does not act according to human expectations? He always surprises us.

I thought: He always surprises me. Be patient, he says. I'm trying.

I read: The Son of God was sent to earth to lead us back to God the Father. God, please do not abandon those who have abandoned you.

I thought: I have gone astray. Be patient with me, Lord. I'm trying.
