Do you ever have a have days when you forget whose you are? I do. Days when I think others don't understand me or really even know me. It seems that God never fails to send me gentle reminders:
You are Mine! My princess. Don't spend your days fretting about what your life or what people think of you! Your significance lies in Me, not in what you have accomplished or not accomplished. Keep your eyes on Me love....
I wish I could say that I never feel hurt or frustration simply because I know whose I am. I wish I could say that I never feel loneliness because God is my Father. I wish I could say I never fear because my Father is sovereign. But I do, because I am not home yet.
Yet He leaves me gentle reminders. In His Word. Through His children who have opened up their lives to share their journey with me. He draws me close and whispers remember, you are My child. I will never leave you nor forsake you. I have lifted up My Son for you--because I love you. Stop trying to live in your own strength and simply find yourself in Me!
"Come unto Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you REST!"
Sweet rest.
I so relate to this. We are not home and until we are we will experience times of unworthiness, times of loneliness, times of fear, times of insecurity, but oh how much sweeter it will be when we arrive.
