So many times I come to God with problems and fears… prayers and frustrations, I come wanting Him to do something about it. I go to Him because He CAN do something about it. I come all distressed and worried, most of the time frantic. I go to God because I know He is the great provider… I know if I call out He will hear me. I know He cares for me and longs to help with my struggles and frustrations.
This morning, I turned on some worship music and just relaxed. It was a beautiful time! I sat there and hummed along, letting the lyrics wash over me. What I love about times like these is that it’s a chance to regain me senses… to rejuvenate… and feel beautiful before my savior again, not like a damsel in distress. I didn’t want to come with a to-do list… I just wanted to be there… and waste time together. (Kind of like those couples you see at restaurants that just look into each others eyes and don’t touch their plates.) It’s in these times that God speaks to me of my worth. I am fearfully and wonderfully made… He desires companionship with me. He longs to spend time with me. I am beautiful, inside and out.
I love that even though I come to God with out an agenda he still validates and meets my needs. I come to offer praise and adoration and He gives it right back to me. I tell Him how awesome He is… and He says that I’m pretty awesome myself. We have a partnership that is like nothing I have ever dreamed of. I have always known that God loves me…That I am His beloved… and until just recently I didn’t think that I would ever feel the same way about Him as He felt about me, but I think I am beginning to get the picture.
