The LORD is my portion

"The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."
-Lamentations 3:24

"Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
-Psalm 73:25-26

God has been teaching me in the last week or two a bit about what it means for Him to be my portion, something which does not come easy for me. There are two things which really tether me to this temporal existence on earth: my research, and romantic relationships. But God has been gracious to slowly loosen the knots on the tethers that I have tied... I am thankful for grace, and I am thankful for sanctification.
