I love hearing that I'm loved. Nothing warms my spirit or lifts my heart more than hearing someone say "I love you". It delights my heart to know that others take pleasure in me and from me. It is an incredible gift, to hear the spoken affirmation of love.
Tonight was one of those moments. Everything inside of me was begging to know "Do you love me? Am I love-able?" And like the fantastic Father that He is, the Lord gave me a few precious moments to be loved by the most incredible woman! How deep the heart of my sister! How great her love is for me! It never ceases to amaze me how much overflow she has! What an example of unconditional love she is! She challenged me to let the Lord love on me each day but I hope that she knows tonight she was that vessel of love.
I find myself in this vulnerable place all the time. I want, more than anything, to know if the Lord loves me. I want so badly for Him to show me what He sees because I just don't see it in myself. And with all the healing I'm doing, I never want to lose this vulnerability. Asking Him "Lord, do you love me?" provides the opportunity for Him to delight in me. It gives Him a chance to bless me through my brothers and sisters in Christ. More importantly, I never want to lose my thirst for His love. May it be my pursuit for life.
May He remind you of His love for you as well!
