Unworthy, but

I am unworthy, but he loves me anyway.

I surprised myself with the last blog post. It is easier to post a real raw emotion blog when I feel no one will read it. Shortly after I posted the last blog I took a hot shower and bawled my eyes out praying to the Lord. I was still just feeling so alone and desperate. I texted my sister-in-law to pray. She did. I love her so much. She sent me some powerful and encouraging scripture and it helped to get me through the rest of that day.

I am reminded of the book "Captivating" by John and Stasi Eldredge. It is a phenomenal book. One of the things I remember they talk about is that we as women are created as social beings.

One of the attacks or lies that Satan has been telling me is that I am all alone. No one understands, no one wants to have a friend like you. You are a jealous snobby girl. They would be better off if you just didn't talk with them anymore. Pretty much trying to get me to cut off my emotional ties with friends. He (Satan) knows that when we get together and encourage each other, we are doing what God created us to do. He created us to be in communion, or fellowship, with Him.

So being created as a social being, a women who displays emotion openly. It is not a bad thing. We, both women and men, were created in His image. We are very different. People like to think of God as a guy. We say "Him," when we talk. Or "Our Father." However we were all created in his likeness. Genesis 1:27. If you think about it, like John and Stasi did, you will see the wonder and the beauty of God himself. He created men strong and protective because He is strong. He created women beautiful, nurturing and loving because He himself is all of those things.

I do know where to turn when I feel empty and broken so please don't worry about that. But remember that we are all human and fragile. Sometimes I need to be encouraged. Other times I am an encourager. So I would encourage you today, tonight, whenever you read this, to think of who in your life you could lift up in prayer or text that you were just thinking of them. I hope each of you has someone to lift you up. Even better to remember is that we are sons and daughters of the Most High King. Thats right, you my dear, are a princess or prince.
