Confessions

Confessions from a young woman climbing out of shame.

Some days I wonder…

Does anyone like me?

Who am I?

How do people see me?

Have I failed miserably? Am I too forgetful? How did I get to this place? Will I ever change? Am I actually trustworthy?

Why does it seem like nothing ever changes inside of me?

Then I have days and weeks like these, where many of the people in my life affirm me. Tell me they hold me in high regard, they look up to me, am inspired by me, think I’m beautiful. They tell me I show them a piece of God, and are encouraged by my faith.

My soul lifts, then I wonder. Am I seeking the Lord as I should? Have I gone to our secret, hidden place recently? How can these people admire someone like me, who feels and believes that I fall short of anything good and noteworthy?

All of this to say, that man do we need each other. I am encouraged this week, and feel that the Lord has placed me on a fluffy mattress to rest on the Words of Life that have been spoken.

We must keep believing in the resurrection power in our lives.

Blessings to you, reader. May He open your heart today to the value He has placed inside of you and the place you have in this world and eternity. Not one of us is perfect, but our souls long for the purity that comes through holiness, which is found in and through the blood of Christ.
