Reminder to my fellow humans. We are “human beings” not “human doings”. We were not made to do do do, but made to be. Be still, be you, be kind.
I want to encourage you to rest, I am looking for it myself.
We are spirts living inside a human form. Explore Gods planted, love his children, see his beauty, live in his grace.
“Fear not, for I have redeem do you;
I have called you by your name;
You are mine. When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you; In though the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, I give Egypt a ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you.” Isaiah 43 1-4
Through life will all will face deep waters, fast paced rivers and flames, but our Lord, God he does not let us face them alone, he is always with us. “Because (we) are precious in (his) eyes, and honored, and (he) loves us”
•You are loved
•You are wanted
•You are enough
•You are a child of God
•You are not alone
•You are Gods creation
If someone has ever said you were not loved, wanted or enough they were wrong, you are all of those things no matter the sins you have done. God does not expect us to be perfect he expected us to be human. Jesus died on the cross so our sins would be forgiven.
It is so easy to get stuck in the image social media expresses, never feeling good enough cause you don’t look like someone or don’t get as many likes. Don’t change yourself for others, God created you perfectly.
Psalm 139:14 “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of starts; he gives to all of them their names. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.” Psalms 147: 3-5
Have you ever laid outside and tried counting the stars? I sure have multiple times. Each time I would lose track and eventually stop counting. I like to think of the stars as a reflection of earth. Each and everyone of us is a star. There are billions of people on this earth and we couldn’t possibly count them all if we tried, just like when we try and count the stars. Jesus on the other hand he has counted all of the stars and given them all names, just like us.
I’m telling you this because you may feel invisible, unnoticed on this earth but Jesus he notices you, he knows you, he knows your name and he wants you to know his too. So next time you go star gazing and you try counting the stars remember that our God was not given named almighty for nothing, he was named almighty because he counted the stars and knows them by there name, just like he knows you by yours. If you are still reading this I want to remind you that you don’t go unnoticed. 🙂
If you look out the window of an airplane preparing to land, you will see the city higher up, filled with cars and houses with people inside living a completely separate life. Knowing nothing about them at all, not even their name. This reminds me how big the world truly is. I pray these individuals keep moving forward and conquer the problems they may be facing. Seeing the world from a different angle and a different perspective is a reminder to treat everyone with kindness, because we truly have no idea the struggles one may be facing.
