No matter how much rejection you have faced over the course of your life… God’s Word says you are loved. You are treasured. And you are chosen.
Let this truth sink in deep tonight, sweet friend.
Finally got around to watching WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR yesterday. The line I'm still thinking about this morning is from Fred Rogers’ 2002 Dartmouth commencement address:
“You don’t ever have to do anything sensational for people to love you.”
“You can’t go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and change the ending.” - CS Lewis
What hope for our hearts.
Today’s a new day, friends. Let’s receive it as the gift that it is.
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
Take heart. Nothing God allows you to go through is pointless. Even in the midst of hurt, He will work things for your good & His glory.
Life. Sometimes it hands us messy. Sometimes it hands us flowers. The unpredictability of it all is what makes life exciting and heartbreaking all at the same time. But most importantly, it reminds us to remain completely dependent on the Lord.
In the midst of whatever difficult circumstances you might be facing in this very moment, pause and whisper these fear-calming, soul-settling truths to your own heart:
God loves me.
He has a plan.
And He absolutely can be trusted.
