Isaiah 61:7

Your life is not small.  Say out loud the desires of your heart.  Tell God what makes you sad, how you hurt, how you are angry and wish your life were different, how you wish you were different, how you fear you disappoint Him, how you wish you didn’t make that mistake……..  God hears you….but you know what?  These things are not what He sees.  These memories- of fear and pain- are moments shaping you, opportunities to see Him.  Things happen that He never planned.  God suffers with you when you are in pain.  Know you are seen.  Know you are loved.  Know you are where God wants to be, no matter what.
