Sometimes things just don't go right

You know how it is, sometimes, no matter how hard you try, things just don't go the way you have planned.  Sometimes when you go to your daughter's room, it looks like this, or the asparagus turns out burnt.  Sometimes, even with the best of intentions, you hurt someone's feelings.  What do you do in those circumstances?  Do you get all upset and give up?  Do you try again to make it right?  I must admit, it depends on the day or the situation which way I handle it.  I wish I was always laid back and patient, but I am not.
I find when I want things, I want them.  I may be willing to wait, but am usually despondent about it.
This got me thinking about the way God sees us.  Does he find us amusing; with our trivial problems that get us all worked up into a tizzy?  Or, does he get aggravated when he tells or shows us something over and over, yet we fail to follow?    Do we deserve his compassion?  Am I always worth it?  I fear the answer to both of those questions is no.
Luckily, the Bible tells us "The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression." (Numbers 14:18)  I am so glad that despite my failings, he always loves me. Just as a parent loves a child, they must still be disciplined when needed.
I encourage you, and myself to remember "We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all men." (1 Thessalonians 5:14)  May you be blessed by the grace of God today.
