i’m sure Master was just teasing. about the stomping. Master sometimes likes to tease me. Why do i feel so sensitive sometimes?

i adore this man. If he wanted me at his feet to stomp near, of course i would be at his feet, him a-stomping. And no, i wouldn’t be afraid. Of what use is a broken-necked slave? None, that i know of. But a broken slave….now that’s an entirely different story.

“Though he slay me, yet will i trust in him” Job 1:4

This is part and parcel of life as my Master’s pet. I am caught off guard many times as His slave. i forget my purpose. Even as i strive to be the compliant, submissive slave i am being moulded into, i learn that my ways are not His ways. (a paraphrase from the book of Isaiah). So many similarities between a Master and God it seems. And no, Master is not God. But they evidently have the same M.O.

So while i am lying at Master’s feet, his urge to playfully stomp very near me, and startle me, serves a Masterly purpose. It entertains him, and reminds me that i am serving continually, in ways i had not previously thought of. I am serving my purpose. That is anything Master desires.

More on brokenness in the future.
