Acronyms have grown exponentially in recent times because of social media. We all know lol. Some of us are familiar with TL; DR. The title of this is one of the originals which means, “Please be patient with me, God is not finished with me yet.”
As I was getting ready to go refill my coffee cup I was talking to myself, which is a mark of sanity on a dark porch in the morning, and I told myself that I was anxious to get back and see what else God had to say to me this morning. The thought occurred to me that these morning dialogues are part of the process of God still whittling away at the knots in my grain and trying to refine me into something that will fit into eternity.
That brought to mind the opening quotation. I am now 78. The number keeps getting bigger. With it come more and more limitations. With it comes greater weakness. In spite of that, or because of that, God is still working on me. What a glorious place to be. As the world finds me of less value, God rubs his hand, picks up his chisel and continues to enjoy the process of sanctifying my character and clarifying my mind. I think He enjoys the challenge I present.
This is a bidirectional declaration. It is directed outward towards those around me. It is both an apology and an explanation. Directed inwardly. It is a comfort and an anticipation.
