How have I so earned your favour.
That you take notice of me.
We must not waver.
For we have not yet paid our fee.

I am reading a Daphnie du Maurier short story .
Everything goes wrong on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
We all find our different way to glory.
Yet as for others , we they condemn.

As I this story we all fail in a different way.
And suddenly we know it.
Maybe it is something we do or say.
We make a miss more often than a hit.

But salvation comes in unexpected ways.
For we cannot escape his gaze.

……..

Have I earned favour
That you take notice of me
Have I paid my fee

See Ruth 2
