Rejection

Do the cool mountain streams ever dry up? Yet my people have forgotten me... Jeremiah 18:14b-15a (CEB)

 (Jesus said,) Many, many times I wanted to help your people. I wanted to gather them together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you did not let me. ~ Matthew 23:37 (ERV)

It is perplexing, God, that you are so eager to help and protect us, but we reject your assistance. Even I do that. I am so ashamed of my independence and I ask that you would correct that problem in me. I desire your help. I am eager to receive it. And today I will be mindful of it. Amen.
