To be loved

These could be words to a song. I have been loved and held by the holiest of hearts! This love that keeps me alive and sane, is too sweet to not share about. I am deeply, thoroughly, immensely — eternally loved! Goodness, I am loved.

Tears of gratitude well up in my eyes whenever I sit in this truth and reality of my life. God has so loved and chosen to show me an affection unparalleled. It’s beyond my comprehension how a love so whole, tender, kind, tenacious — perfect love lives in me. What a gift! I am love’s home.

Lately, I’ve been pondering on my life’s journey. Memories of all kinds keep surfacing and I can’t help, but thank God for His apparent commitment to loving me. It is in Jesus that I’ve found love that covers a multitude of sins. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a love that holds anything against me except an invitation to receive it.

Each one of us go around life carrying experiences and feelings that we don’t always know what to do with them. We go through some of the worst things imaginable and we must go on with life even when we want to tap out, especially when we want to tap out. If anyone would see my soul raw, everything… I don’t know if they would walk towards me or they’d rather turn in the opposite direction. It’s weird being human.

Yet, there’s a Keeper and Life Giver who sees all there is to see — ALL OF IT! To be honest, it’s wild for me to think that He sees everything and the earth hasn’t stopped spinning. I find comfort, however in knowing that He is not repelled by the sight of my soul. He is inclined to loving me back to wholeness. God does not get disgusted by anyone, except the sin that clings to them. That is what makes His love so holy.

I’ve known a love like His! I’m so grateful that it’s available for us to revel in… or I would never have recovered every time I fell apart. No matter how difficult it is for me to wrap my mind around how it works sometimes, His consistency is my safety net. At bottom of the deepest pits, His steadfast love is there to catch me. It’s this love that makes me dance when no one is watching …and want to shout in joy — come and see, a love so holy!

There’s no place in this life where my heart has rested in knowing I am seen and still loved, but Christ. It’s Him. He’s the lover of my soul, my Keeper. Redeemer! I am overwhelmed by His commitment to my existence. I am loved, completely.

Also, hello! I’m not sure if this is me coming back on the blogosphere… but we’re here now

I missed you. Thank you for spending your time with my mind. May you encounter this holy love in your lifetime.
