Psalm 101:1-8
[ A David Psalm ] My theme song is God's love and justice, and I'm singing it right to you, God. I'm finding my way down the road of right living, but how long before you show up? I'm doing the very best I can, and I'm doing it at home, where it counts. I refuse to take a second look at corrupting people and degrading things. I reject made-in-Canaan gods, stay clear of contamination. The crooked in heart keep their distance; I refuse to shake hands with those who plan evil. I put a gag on the gossip who bad-mouths his neighbor; I can't stand arrogance. But I have my eye on salt-of-the-earth people— they're the ones I want working with me; Men and women on the straight and narrow— these are the ones I want at my side. But no one who traffics in lies gets a job with me; I have no patience with liars. I've rounded up all the wicked like cattle and herded them right out of the country. I purged God's city of all who make a business of evil. [ A Prayer of One Whose Life Is Falling to Pieces, ] and Who Lets God Know Just How Bad It Is

This is taken from The Message.  I have been reading from The Message at BibleGateway.com since going to a funeral a few weeks ago where that translation was used by the minister at the family's request.  The scriptures He used were fammiliar but sounded so different in this translation.  Tonight I did a topical search for scriptures pertaining to God's love. 

David in Psalm 101 stopped me in my tracks.  The last line made me laugh out loud.  I am not feeling that way tonight, but, oh, how many times I have.  I know God loves to have us come to Him and just tell Him how we see our lives.  David's view:  A Prayer of One Whose Life Is Falling to Pieces,  and Who Lets God Know Just How Bad It Is.

The key here is after getting it off our chest, so to speak, we then need to listen to God.  After hearing from God and seeing our lives through His eyes, our perception changes. 

That book I just finished, Love Amid the Ashes by Mesu Andrews still rings true in my heart.  There was a difference between Job's view of his life and God's view.  We can rest when we have God's view. 

Father God, Give me eyes to see my world the way You see.  Give me eyes to see the people in my life with the love that You see them.  Amen
