Psalm 119:124
Deal with your servant according to your steadfast love, and teach me your statutes.
What more can I ask, Lord, but that You deal with according to Your steadfast love? That has always been so, even when I was not walking with You. The problem is in my recognizing that You are dealing with me out of love, steadfast love and my acceptance of that fact. This is where the teaching/learning is needed. For me to accept that circumstances and events are for a purpose, and that purpose is to teach me, to transform me and make me like You.
