Psalms 107:10-14

"Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder."
Psalms 107:10-14


God is pretty amazing.  We rebel against him and ignore his counsel, and he still heals us and loves us.  He frees us from the darkness, and sets us free from the bonds that we have created for ourselves.  Why does he do this for us, and treat us so well, when we treat him horribly?  It approaches incomprehensibility.  ... but somehow, no matter how badly we treat him, he always loves us when we return, and welcomes us into his arms.  That is a good reason to be joyful today. :)
