I'm Lovable!

In continuing with my reading of Sherrill's book, a section where she discovered she was lovable was like a door opening and light shining in! God finds me lovable, He finds me worthy...how can this be when I can't even see myself that way?

As I was reading and pondering this I received an email from a friend recently and she said, "Remembering all the fun times at your house as you hosted the July Fourth party. Thanks for doing all that and for making the effort to get people together. I’ve been noticing not many people do that around here. I appreciate you and Ron for doing it for us. We’ll miss you this 4^th."

I realize that often times I read these times of messages from family and friends and I emotionally poopoo them with the thought, "Oh, they don't mean it." And yet now I realize that maybe they do mean it, that they've enjoyed what I've done and value it...enjoyed me and valued me. That perhaps they've found me worthy...just as Jesus finds me worthy. Maybe if I were enjoying heaven in the moment, I would feel that love and care from those around me and from Jesus...maybe that's what's been missing from my walk.

Thoughts to ponder this 5th of July...hope all have had a great 4th of July weekend, celebrating our country!
