Lately I feel as if I write about the same things over and over. Like I go on and on about how much He loves us and how He calls us to love one another and how He made each of us unique and how no one can be a better you and how ice cream is yucky (I just threw that last one in to see if you were really reading).
But maybe we as humans need continual reminding.
I wake up into a new day but I have slight amnesia. And I need reminding that He loves me. I need reminding that when He called me to do the things that mark my today, He also equipped me. I need reminding to keep my eyes locked on Him rather than scanning this world for affirmation and identity.
I need reminding because I forget.
O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Psalm 63:1
He remembers we’re dust. He looks down at His children — the ones needing continual reminding — and He remembers that He formed us out of dirt. Clay vessels. He isn’t angry at the need for reminding. He’s gloried as we point these wayward hearts back to His Truth again today. Remembering.
So I guess I’ll just keep writing the same things. Because it appears with my fears and whining and insecurities that I forget my Maker at times. I forget that He looks me deep in the eyes and calls me by name with such patient, pursuing love, ready to lead me through yet another day.
Remember.
Fill me, Lord…
What do you need to remember today?
Amen, sweet sister. I am glad that He uses you to keep reminding me.
Blessings to you, Jamie. 🙂
I need to remember that when midnight comes in my life God is still beside me causing the night to behave! Thank you Jesus!
These past few weeks were the darkest I’ve seen in a while, but He’s stayed with me through it all.
Tamika, so sorry to hear of the dark places. Though I’m blessed to hear of your sweet dependence on Him through it. Praying for and with you, friend.
That no matter where I am or how many friends I have, God is my ALWAYS. No matter what anyone else does or says that brings me down, God is the one I need to answer to. At the end of the day, God is the one who really sustains me. That is so hard sometimes.
Thank you for reminding us. I need it all the time.
Thank you for those reminders, Dana. We all need them. Blessings!
I needed these reminders today. Thank you.
My faith is messy right now but I do know that this reminder is one that I need. Why is it so easily forgotten? So easily stuffed in a corner that he could possibly love me? Beautiful post friend.
You are a precious sister, Heather. Praying for and with you. 🙂
