God’s heart during extreme pain

I asked God, I said, "Papa, am I sick because I did something wrong?" He said "no." I said, "is Satan stronger than You, did he make me sick?" And He said "no." And then I heard Him say to me, "You are sick because there is sickness in this world. Satan's attack is to drive a wedge between you and I. To shoot arrows at your heart, to wound you further into isolation and abandonment. But Peter, I have not abandoned you, nor left you. In fact, I will use this illness to draw you and I closer." And then I said, "I apologize for not coming to you sooner." And He said, with a slight laugh, "I have come to you. And I will keep coming after you, if you will only be looking for me. And when you don't see me or feel me, I'll come anyway, to be with you. Always."

Overstepping your authority

So I'm at the window tint place nearby university high school. The old dude that owns the place is looking at my car and this kid walks by on his way to school – with sagging pants and he says "pull your pants up young man." Wow.
