Thoughts about GOD and My Affair with HIM

Hello! Last Sunday was celebrated as The Divine Mercy Sunday and so, I see this week as the week of Mercy 😊 . Mercy ... Mercy ... Mercy ... as I ponder about the Mercy of God (my mind delights in taking mental trips that lead towards discovering more about Him), I can't help but stop my train of thoughts as I arrive at the same question that I keep asking; "what is man that You are so mindful of him?"

GNB says "I know that your goodness and love will be with me all my life; and your house will be my home as long as I live".  I read other bible versions as advised in my previous post but this translation...
