I find that I'm safe and warm
In your loving arms
You see me
And You know me
And You love me
Through and through
What a sweet, sweet picture of how God sees me as His beloved daughter. I've been reminded over the past few days what it means to truly love the way Jesus loves us. It's because of His love for me that I am able to love others. It's been good and sad to be home mostly in the sense of missing team, community, and a body of brothers and sisters who so desire intimacy and deep, vulnerable relationship with God and with others.
I've been realizing that the more I grow in understanding of who I am in Christ and how he sees me, I am able to invite others into that same love relationship. I am safe and warm in His arms and He sees me and knows me in all my sins, insecurities, fears, and failures, and yet, he loves me through and through. I love that in my limited capacity of being able to love those around me, I find rest in the fact and truth that God is not limited and He loves me and those around me infinitely more times than I ever could.
This week one of the most significant things that has ever been said to me and that I will always remember is. "I imitate you as you imitate Christ." What a blessing, privilege, and encouragement to live by. It is such a testimony of God's love that in all these things, God uses those around us to give us just a small, small glimpse into what His love for us looks like. <3 p="">
