58 years now I've been walking this earth. And although I didn't realise it for a while, God was seeking me out the whole time. In my earlier years, my parents started attending church after my younger sister died. I heard all the stories and wanted to be good and get to heaven which sounded like a wonderful place. As a child, it seemed quite magical.
I tried to be good enough, but knew I never quite made it. I was sure God was disappointed with my constant misdoings and couldn't take me seriously. Then one day someone told me that God loved me exactly as I was. And I believed it! And the weight of that struggle was gone! For a while... I'd love to say I never fell into that hole again 😄. But I'm a repeat offender. 🤣 Still, God kept winning my heart back - and keeps winning my heart back!
I still feel very young when it comes to him. Still learning every day to be the beautiful person he sees in me. But I know I'm loved - deeply, completely and forever. And to live each day like that is the biggest gift I've ever known. Thankyou to my beautiful God for making my life the best it could ever be. ❤️
