Life is ____________.
In this moment, life has its ups and downs. One minute things are going well, no complaints, and the next it seems life is falling a part at the seams.
I wonder how I can make it through one more minute let alone 30 more years of this kind of life.
In the light of day, I smile and pretend every thing is OK. But in the darkness of the night, my tears fall like streams of water, pooling on my pillow as I fall to sleep.
I wonder if I'll have the strength to make it another day.
Then last night I was reminded of the truth - God's truth - and know that I can go on fighting. That God's grace will carry me through, and His mercies are new every morning.
Today, I'm reminded of this song by MercyMe. Oh, that I (and all of us) could see ourselves through God's eyes and know that we are beautiful!
Beautiful by MercyMe
Days will come when you don't have the strength
And all you hear is you're not worth anything
Wondering if you ever could be loved
And if they truly saw your heart
They'd see too much
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful
Praying that you have the heart to fight
Cuz you are more than what is hurting you tonight
For all the lies you've held inside so long
But they are nothing in the shadow of the cross
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful
Before you ever took a breath
Long before the world began
Of all the wonders He possessed
There was one more precious
Of all the earth and skies above
You're the one He madly loves...
Enough to die!!!
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
In His eyes
You're beautiful!
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful!
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful!
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful!
You are treasured
You are sacred
You are His
Do you know you are beautiful?

I didn't know for a long, long time how He longed to father me. But now I do, and it is beautiful.
Yes, Chad. It is beautiful indeed!
My father passed away when I was just 10 years old, so it was always hard for me to relate to God as a father. Many years ago, He reminded me of some precious time I spent with my own dad as a kid & spoke so clearly to my heart - THIS is how I am as a father.
I love this song too, Denise! I'm sorry you have had some tearful nights. I pray that God will continue to shine His truth into your situation! Keep clinging to Him. So glad you linked up today, friend.
It's a great song, isn't it? Thank you for your prayers. Last night's ladies event was powerful and there was so much truth spoken into my life. So much to process. God is and will continue to be faithful, this much I know for sure.
