How Sweet it is to be Loved by You

Today I find myself in a poor pitiful me look on life, I don’t want to believe it, but yet it seems to be so perfectly accurate about my life right now. I have been spending time alone in thought and coming to self-realizations about others but for the most part, about myself. How does one come to this point in their life you ask? Many hours of thought while driving down a lonely unforgiving road of destruction.

Let me paint a picture for you. I am over weight, I have low self-confidence, I make horrible decisions, and I have few “talents/gifts”. The gifts I do have are not worth writing home to mother, I find that I want to be extraordinary at things I could only ever hope to achieve ordinary.

Those of you reading must be thinking “Jake this is not you, you can’t possibly be feeling this way….” And you are right. I don’t feel this way, not anymore. It’s not about me; it was never about me, how could I have been so selfish and self-centered? It’s the knowledge that there is a mighty, omniscient, loving, just, forgiving, all -powerful (many more words could be used) God watching over me. The fact that I am his child, and that he is here for me when others fail me, comforts me in ways that only a child of God can know. I mean don’t get me wrong I have an awesome family and circle of friends, that no man could ever ask for, but, no person can love or forgive me the way that the Heavenly Father can.

God Bless!
