one of my bigger goals for myself this year is to work harder at seeing the God in people. see, I have trust issues and I believe that it’s because I’m not seeing God when I interact with most and I REALLY want to fix this.
when I went to church this morning, this was heavy on my mind, heart, and spirit… and per usual, God delivered what I needed. today’s reading came from Matthew 9:18. in this passage, Jesus was on his way to perform a miracle when Veronica came and touched his robe feeling that if she could just touch His robe, she would be healed. Jesus stopped what he was doing and spoke to her.
why is this relevant to me? see, no one is a nobody in Gods eyes. and if God can feel like everyone is a somebody, then why do I feel like it’s ok to think of people not worthy of my trust and love? this makes absolutely no sense to me and it’s funny because as my brain and spirit began to process this, I began to see people in church differently. earlier in service I was judging people on what they were wearing, how they were walking, how they smelled, etc. but as I got this lesson, I truly saw all these people as beautiful.
but this was a lesson that most people in the church had gotten and shown me previously. I’m not a member of the church but they have welcomed me with open arms. they have listened to me testify and loved me AND my baby without knowing us. one of the pastors has even gone and planned a baby shower for me! this is love, Gods love. it’s amazing how you have all these examples of unconditional love but you can’t see it till your spirit is ready.
I’m thankful that God gave me the lesson that I needed today. but I offer you this, open your eyes to what’s around you. eveything you need is already there.
