Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name:
You are mine.
You are precious in my eyes
And honored, and I love you.

So many times I find my head flooded with lies. I let my emotions dictate my thoughts. I let the shortcomings of earthly people and things reflect God. I model Him after flawed human beings. I forget that even the deepest human love I have ever felt is only a shadow of the way God loves me. I forget that the most overwhelming joy I have ever felt is merely a glimpse of what God desires to give me now and forever in eternity. It’s hard to imagine a flawless love. It’s hard to imagine a truly fulfilling joy. So my emotions tell me to settle. My emotions tell me to use a quick fix. My emotions tell me that it’s not worth the wait. That this is good enough. That instant gratification is fulfilling. But my intellect reminds me of the truth. My intellect reminds me of how many times God has come through.
As I was sitting in adoration last week, God spoke through my intellect reminding me of this: Jesus, You love me. You want to fulfill my deepest desire. You want me to totally surrender my trust to You. Jesus, You want to make me pure and holy. You want to transform my heart. To watch me grow. To fill my heart. To watch it overflow. You want to surprise me. You want to bring me to my knees in thanksgiving. You want to give me Your body. To lay down Your life for me. You want to be there for me. You want to pursue my heart. You want to adore me. To gaze at Your little girl in awe. You want to hold my hand. You want me. You want all of me. You want every part of me. You want my wounds, my insecurities, my fears, my flaws, my failures. You want to heal me. You want to restore me. You want to make me new. You want to be my savior. You want to save me. To speak to me. To touch me. To hold me. You want to feed me. You want all of me. You want to wow me. To make me fall in love with You. You love me. You love me more than I could ever understand. You love me for me. You love everything about me. You desire me. You adore me. You appreciate who I am. You value me. You think that I am worthy. That I am more than enough. You desire for me to let You in. To let You love me. To let You pursue me. To let You give me the desires of my heart. To let You pour Your grace over me. To let You overwhelm me with Your peace. To comfort me. To bring everlasting joy. You desire me. Y o u w o u l d d o a n y t h i n g f o r m e.
