Today, I have been feeling like a bad mom and wife....I felt like I have been rude, selfish, and short. I was so grateful to get to church today...and the message made me cry the whole time. It wasn't the best message, but to hear, 'God Loves Me.' over and over cut through to my core.
Christianity is the only religion where you don't need anything to be with God....You can't do anything to earn God's love or give atonement to be loved. He loves me just cause. My favorite quote is, 'God knew what he was getting when he made me.' I get grace to be me! Unapologetic-ally Kathryn, not everyone's cup of coffee. I tell the truth when you don't want to hear it, or when it is rubbing salt in a wound, easily manipulated and fooled, a thinker, but always taken on first impression as two bricks short of a full load. I contradict myself when seeking approval from others as I try and mold who I am to make others happy. I am energetic see the good in most and always want to give second, third, and forth chances.
The more I talk about who I am the more 'narcissistic' I am sounding, Sorry, that is not the intention~just writing down what I know about who I am helps me to better establish who God made me and reinforce in me His unconditional Love. My hubby's favorite question is, 'Why do you love me?' Do you ask your hubby that question? Do they love it as much as my hubby does? Many people in the Bible have asked God the same question. God answers back, 'Does the sun ask why it shines or the waves ask why they move?' No they don't, we are made by the creator, and just like we have unconditional love for our kids, a bond that is beyond comprehension, God has that same love for me....as His creation! I am learning everyday how to love myself and see myself the way God sees me. Psalms 23:6 'Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.'
In 2015 and this fresh perspective of the love of the Lord, I want to share this love with everyone around me. My resolution is to go deeper into Christ's love so others can see God's love for them too. To give grace and understanding to my family, to have a better bond with my kids, and help them further all their interests as they learn who they are in Christ.
Chores, bills, and work are always constant; Time, people and stuff is fleeting.
