A song of ascents.
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD;
2 O Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.
3 If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness;
therefore you are feared.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD,
for with the LORD is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.

Hymn: The Love Of God.
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above,
Would drain the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song.
When years of time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men, who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—
The saints’ and angels’ song.
Grace Of God.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
Ephesians 2:8

Thought provoking.
"Men, for the most part, are clueless when it comes to a feminine heart's true needs. Rather than being willing to diligently and respectfully win a girl's heart over time by listening to her, learning about her, doing thoughtful things for her, and making sure she is truly ready before moving to the next leve, men tend to breeze right past the emotional wooing stage as if it is totally unnecessary.
From a modern guy's vantage point, we don't realize that there is any difference between men and women except for those key biological differences, which we assume were spurred on by some weird thing called estrogen.
Men don't know how to protect a woman's heart because they don't realize it is so different from their own. This is another area in which women can help the men become warriors - men who guard and defend what is vulnerable.
Manhood is at its best when it can make a woman feel both protected in her innocence and secure in the slow warming of her heart. It's all a part of becoming the warriors God calls men to be."
I read this whole chunk from a book Authentic Beauty. I was like "Wow.".
Amazing stuff. It is written by Leslie Ludy's husband. So it is like from a guy's perspective. I was nodding my head in agreement as I read on.
I didn't know that "Just as young girls dream of becoming princesses, young boys dream of becoming warriors.".
And that men are supposed to be protectors. Though, girls have to protect and guard their own hearts too.
I was just nodding and nodding in agreement and "Wow. Ooo.. Wow. I see.." all the way~
I learned a lot.

Psalms 10:2-12
In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,
who are caught in the schemes he devises.
He boasts of the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
In his pride the wicked does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
His ways are always prosperous;
he is haughty and your laws are far from him;
he sneers at all his enemies.
He says to himself, "Nothing will shake me;
I'll always be happy and never have trouble."
His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats;
trouble and evil are under his tongue.
He lies in wait near the villages;
from ambush he murders the innocent,
watching in secret for his victims.
He lies in wait like a lion in cover;
he lies in wait to catch the helpless;
he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
His victims are crushed, they collapse;
they fall under his strength.
He says to himself, "God has forgotten;
he covers his face and never sees."
Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God.
Do not forget the helpless.
who are caught in the schemes he devises.
He boasts of the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
In his pride the wicked does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
His ways are always prosperous;
he is haughty and your laws are far from him;
he sneers at all his enemies.
He says to himself, "Nothing will shake me;
I'll always be happy and never have trouble."
His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats;
trouble and evil are under his tongue.

His victims are crushed, they collapse;
they fall under his strength.
He says to himself, "God has forgotten;
he covers his face and never sees."
Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God.
Do not forget the helpless.

Tomorrow.
You do not know what will happen tomorrow.
For what is your life?
It is a vapor that appears for a little time and then
vanishes away.
James 4:4
do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34
