Long ago, when I was a teenager, I was so lacking in confidence and self esteem. I constantly compared myself to others and found myself coming up short from almost every angle. And my heart longed for a love that was deep and accepting of me. Just the way I was. And that could breathe into me, a sense of worth.
And I found that love - or that love 'found' me! As obviously lacking and unworthy as I was, God made me understand that I was worth so much to him! I was worth the life-blood of the one he held closest!
And once I sensed that value, and let myself fall into that incredible love of his, I slowly began to bloom. He brought to life gifts in me, that I would never have guessed to be mine! He gave me strength and confidence, and a willingness to grow and let go of the hurts life faced me with.
He made me feel beautiful. And I'll love him forever. For being my closest friend and my constant encourager! I will love him all the days of my life.
And I pray that for you. That you will know this love that holds me. ❤️
