God's Love is Sufficient

This is one of the hardest concepts to grasp in such a broken, torn apart world. No matter how hard we try we as people, we will never be perfect.

In a world where rejection was so familiar to me, it took me forever to grasp the concept of God’s love. After all, time and time again the very people I let in close said they loved me. Then right when things got hard they walked out of my life.

Leaving me feeling empty, alone, and most of all, Rejected. This pain from people left me in a raw spot when it came to accepting the love of an invisible God. After all, the love of God was one I never knew before. It was a love I never even imagined I would have.

All I wanted in my little broken world was a sense of peace, a person to fight for me, and loyalty. I wanted to be important after all the trials I faced in life. I wanted to know I was worth something and not alone.

Little did I know, those little desires were the starting point of God calling me into relationship with him. I never understood when I was going through the trials of life that God was there waiting for a moment that I would listen.

I would continue in relationship after relationship just to find my dreams crushed and a lost sense of hope. Now I realize that it was all for a purpose.

God wanted my heart. He wanted my brokenness. He wanted my baggage that I carried with me everywhere I went.

He wanted to be that knight in shining armor I always dreamed of. I will tell you this was not an overnight adventure. I was a broken woman and still am a little rough around the edges. God has been gentle with me through this process.

Just as he has been gentle with me through my processes I know he will be gentle with you. As you go to bed at night unfulfilled after your late night adventure. As you take a few more drinks at the bar with your girls. As you dress up and step out for the night, he will still be gentle with you.

I just want to ask you this. How long will you keep hurting yourself before you learn to love yourself?

To know God is to know yourself. We are created in his image. You must take the time to step back and really reflect on the God that created you in order to see your true Value.

Your value is not determined by the trials of life. Your value is not determined by the man that you keep. Your value is not determined by the things you have. But your value is something that was placed inside of you before you were born.

You have a power that is deep within that can take you to higher heights than you have ever experienced. I am a living example of this very value I speak of. If I let the trials of life determine my value I wouldn't have been bold enough to write to you this letter. My trials do not define me. My persistent pursuit of the God I love keeps me. His love and workmanship determine my true Value.

You are Royalty! You were created for a purpose!
