Well, I just had an hour nap - trying to make time to rest, since it's so important, and a nap should help offset getting less sleep tonight.
I was thinking today about how surprised people are when I do the right thing, or do what I say I will. Those are attributes of God, and I expect to find them in myself, and to an extent in others. I guess it's not all that common these days, but realizing that, or finding out firsthand, always surprises me, and can be a disappointment. But things are not now as they ought to be, and as they will be one day. 1 Corinthians 13 talks about the way that love is, and since God is love, I can take those to be part of His character too. I know I want to look at that chapter more closely in the future. The part that connects to this is in verse 7, where it says that love always trusts, and always hopes. I think that means that no matter how many times people may let me down or do differently than they ought, I shouldn't become distrustful, or jaded, but always be hopeful that they will live up to their God-given potential the next time. After all, isn't that the way that God treats me?
