“For He knows our frame, He [earnestly] remembers and imprints [on His heart] that we are dust”. Psalm 103: 14 (AMPC) 

At times in life, we may feel that we have failed, fallen short of what others expected of us, or what we expected of ourselves.  It is a terrible feeling to think we are a disappointment to some or have disappointed others.  Yet here is our loving God letting us know, right from the start, that we can never disappoint Him! He knows what we are like, inside and out.  He knows our struggles and our strengths; our weaknesses and our worries; and He loves us still. 

He understands that we are doing the best we can, and that we cannot do any good thing without Him—He has no expectation at all that we will!  Rather He says, “Come to Me…let Me help you with that. You won’t be able to do it on your own, but I am right here.  Together, we can do something great.” 

Oh beloved one, never worry about letting Him down, it is simply not possible. Rather He is the One Who has come to pick you up and carry you on the wings of love into the glorious future He has prepared! 

Trust and try Him.  It’s true!  He only has love in His heart for you.
