A lot to learn about myself

I find it amusing how little I can know about myself after nearly 30 years! I found a self-profile I'd put together about a year ago and I'd put 'patience' as one of my best qualities!!! I guess there are lots of different situations that require patience, and in some I can be quite patient. But more recently I've discovered just how impatient I am!

Last night I found The Message version of Psalm 139, and it's excellent. I may not know much about myself, but God knows it all, AND He still loves me. That blows my mind.

Praise Him for His reassuring presence!! He is awesome!

Psalm 139:1-3 (The Message)

A David Psalm

1-6 God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand.
I'm an open book to you;
even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back;
I'm never out of your sight.
You know everything I'm going to say
before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you're there,
then up ahead and you're there, too—
your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful—
I can't take it all in!
