Does God hate you?

Dear Friends- Do you ever feel like the whole world is against you? One battle after another. Wherever you turn there is a problem to deal with? Like someone is out to destroy you?You are exhausted. Your body aches from the stress. You don't know where to turn to. You literally feel like dying.
Almost as if ... God hates you? Read this...

"O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
  or discipline me in your wrath.
  Be merciful to me,Lord, for I am faint;
  O Lord, heal me, for 
  my bones are in agony.
  My soul is in anguish, how long, O Lord, how Long?
  Turn,O Lord,and deliver me;
  save me because of your unfailing love.
  No one remembers you when he is dead.
  Who praises you from the grave?
  I am worn out from groaning;
  All night long I flood my bed with weeping
  and drench my couch with tears.
  My eyes grow week with sorrow;
  they fail because of all my foes.
  Away from me, all you who do evil,for the Lord
  has heard my weeping.
  The lord has heard my cry for mercy;
  the Lord accepts my prayer.
  All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed,
  they will turn back in sudden disgrace."
  Psalm 6

Thank God, he hears our cries. Our weeping. Our arguing.
He loves us, NOT hates us. Whether we feel like loving him or not. his Mercy is real. And in his timing,... he is there.
Not when we feel it should be,... but when he knows it is the right time.
Our perseverance strengthens us. Strengthens our faith for his purposes. 
God loves you!

Have a great weekend!

Your irritating friend- Derek
