Great to see you writing again…
And why do we fear that no one is caring and no one is listening and EVERYONE is trying to take advantage of us? Because deep down, we fear God is doing the same thing. He does not have our best interests at heart and, in fact, he really does not even remember our name.
But when we allow the truth of God’s love seep in, we realize that He does care; He does love us; He does know our names; and He is not trying to take advantage of us. In fact it is quite the opposite: He calls us to Him telling us to shed the worries of this world and lean into Him, in all of frailty, all of our weakness and all of our fear. And does he love me less because of this? No. His love is made even more real in these times. Although I am dark, I am still lovely to Him. Jesus takes me as I am.
And when I realize that, the drama of the world just kind of… fades away.
