I used to gaze outside my window in my old house at the flower bed beneath the window to look for the new life of the tulips that came up every year.They never failed me.

Sometimes, we think that we fail others when they are hurt and we cannot help them. We are humans and humans make mistakes. Mistakes that we cannot mend, or fix, or make go away.
We live with them, the shame of them, the deep hurt of them.

God never fails us. He always bring new life. He renews us and heals our hearts. Sometimes it takes time and we have to be patient.

O Lord, my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices and then my body will rest secure. You will not abandon me to my grave. You have made known to me the path of life. The path that will lead me into joy. You fill me with your presence and make me whole. Amen
