Lately, I have found myself picking people to pieces to find out if they are trustworthy, or people I could open up to. I’ve had a verse of a song (Barlowgirl: I Need You To Love Me) in my head for days, but it’s a huge reminder to me for the things we ALL do.
The lines “I have wasted so much time; Pushing You away from me; I just never saw how You could cherish me; ‘Cause You’re a God who has all things; And still You want me.”
God is an artist; we are all living masterpieces. He has everything; He is errorless. So why would he want us? Why does He yearn for our love, relationship, and obedience? I was pondering this last night and I remembered something someone had told me; “we are all worthy of Gods love through Jesus Christ.” We have no reason to question.
Psalm 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
So I prayed to God asking for Him to help me see the time I had wasted hoping I would find any other form of comfort and forgiveness. We are all blind to what is right in front of us.
For so long I was, but I’m finding day after day that the comfort I had been looking for was holding my hand the whole time.
This week was Adoption Week and it was hard listening to it on the radio, seeing as I kept thinking about how I didn’t really have a family now; that all the things I took for granted are what I now wanted most.
Then one of the speakers said “we are all part of Gods family” and those words comforted me as though they were coming from God Himself. Like “this is your family and always will be.” I felt strength, and I knew that no matter the situation or the many times I feel I’m lost, I BELONG.
We all belong.
