Rule Breaker

Sometimes, I break the rules.

For instance, the instructions I received this weekend were to write, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Instead, I wrote, “You are there.”

Both phrases are from Psalm 139.

But right now, at this time in my life, “You are there” are the words that speak most to me.

God is there. Through darkness. Through light. Through good times. Through bad. Through days of work. Through days of unemployment. Through days of struggle. Through days of plenty. Through days of friendship. Through days of betrayal. God is there.

And I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Even if I do break the rules.
