I do not understand why...

I do not understand why,

     You are so willing to listen to me, when I so seldom listen for you.

I do not understand why,

     You take the time to speak to me, when I almost never make time to visit with you.

I do not understand why,

     You would want to come to me, when I am so reluctant to come to you.

I do not understand why,

     You are so patient with me, when I am in such a hurry when spending time with you.

I do not understand why, 

     You were so quick to love me, when I have been so slow to respond to that love.

I do not understand why,

     You so consistently forgive me, when I am so quick to disobey you.

I do not understand why, 

     You choose to use me in your plan, when apart from you I am so useless.

I do not understand why,

     You are so anxious to lift me up, when I am so quick to tear you down.

I do not understand why, 

     You were willing to die for me, when I have been so resistant to live for you.

I do not understand why,

     You would call me son, but I am thankful to be able to call you Father.

I do not understand why,

     You saved me from my sin, but I am grateful for your unending mercy.

I do not understand why,

     You have blessed me so abundantly, but I am grateful for your unmerited grace.

     If you think of others...feel free to post them as a comment...but don't look for an answer from me, cause I just don't really know all that much.  I'm sure there is MUCH more that I do not understand, but I am grateful that I belong to One who has ALL the answers.
