Psalm 86:5 O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.

Have you ever been in a place where the good things God has around you just stop feeling good? I don't mean that they become evil, but they just don't feel good. Maybe a better way to say it would be that they stop giving that good reaction, they stop producing a feeling in you. You read the scriptures about love and you don't feel it. You start to wonder what's wrong with you. You feel that you're just going through the motions. Well, I'm there. I feel productive at work, but lost in my morning devotional.

When I read this verse, I felt His love covering me. Here I am wondering what's wrong with me, then God takes the focus away from me and turns it back on Him and His love. That's where God wants us. He wants us focused on Him and His love, and when we're not then we need to stop and refocus; because He's waiting, He's waiting to forgive, to love and to help.
