It's been said before..."There is a God, and you're not Him." Well, I just read a journal entry of mine from December 2000 that indicates what a good thing it is I'm not.
RE: Mark 6:30-44
So...the apostles get back from their preaching tours and Jesus wants to get away with just the 12 for a restful break. They sail across to the other shore and are met by a crowd of thousands.
The next phrase is a telling truth that points out a major difference between Jesus and me: "At the sight of them, his heart broke - like sheep without a shepherd they were."
Had it been me, I would have felt exasperation bordering on anger...anything but compassion. And they definitely would have been on their own for supper!

Truth is...If the truth were known, all would clearly see I've still got such a long way to go.
