Long story why this question is coming up so I won't go into it especially since some don't get the importance of open communication and confessions not to mention testimony...but, the question I keep getting asked by God this week is what are you seeking...both big picture as in God and smaller picture as in this day or this situation..
Not that anyone will care but my answer is currently,
Big picture...God
Smaller picture...to be told I have value (not necessarily in words) To know in both heart and mind that there is someone fighting for me because I have something to offer. IOW's to "feel" it
I'm feeling the same way. Let me think some more and answer Friday. Excellent topic and you do have value Lori, absolutely valuable insight and wisdom.
I'm looking forward to your response.
Some time ago we were talking about whether or not to leave the church we were attending. We prayed and asked God to show us what He would have for us. Brian had one thing in mind, I had another. After the answer was given and our pastor asked us about it, I told him that I wanted to FEEL loved by the body.
Feelings come and go, they ebb and flow but they are also how God created us when He created us in His image. To that end, we often feel one thing when the reality is something else. Right now I am seeking a feeling that matches how God and others that Love me feel about me, the hate of others clouds those feelings more times than not.
Rest assured you are Loved and of great value and I pray that God shows you that this week and this year so that your emotions match His truth of who you are to the only one that matters.
