I turned 20 a week ago and I have never felt so loved and celebrated with all my friends and family. There was so much thought and effort put in. All the details had me feeling deeply cared for. There was a part of the night when everyone started to share our favorite memories, or moments. Yes, I cried. It was an overwhelming experience to hear that many kind words at once with so many different people that have seen me in many different seasons. I felt undeserving and I was in awe of the Lord. I felt the goodness of God and I was so thankful for the people I have around me. He has created us to be in community and my gosh, he gave me a good one.
While I have been pondering that lovely moment, I started to think that the feeling I have of being celebrated must be so small compared to how God feels when we worship him and give him adoration. The Lord delights in our praise. He is moved by us. That blows my mind. I want to celebrate God every day of life. I want to tell God everyday my favorite things about him. Lord I love when you you speak to me, when you whisper into my heart. My favorite moments with you are when I am alone and I can just weep to you and I feel so comforted. I love when you meet me where I am.My favorite thing is when I can physically feel you and feel that fire in my belly. My favorite realization is knowing I get to carry heaven in my heart. Thank you Jesus. Let’s make God feel celebrated today. What are your favorite things about God?
Wow! What a cool perspective — He is worthy of all the praise! I love many things of the Lord, His sovereignty, His kindness, His friendship, His example. He’a so good!
So very proud of you sister!! I am excited to see all good you do.
It’s always wonderful to reflect on our daily lives towards things that we care deeply for, be it other’s lives or in this case, God. Keep pushing towards your goals and I’m sure you’re going to accomplish great things.
Keep pushing forward and reaching for the stars; you can do anything with God as your compass. I love you, baby girl, and I’m so proud of you. Mom????
That’s good sav. I love how you see God in things the friends He has given you and correlate that to how God fees and looks at you, no matter how minuscule it must be compared to his love. One of my favorite things is God’s faithfulness in the little things. Just today I was looking for a parking spot in a busy area so I asked God for help in getting a spot and as I said that, a car started backing out of a front row spot.
Even better the second time through. You’re a gifted writer. What gets me stoked about the Father is His ability to endlessly offer love to myself and others no matter the circumstance or condition of our hearts towards Him. He’s the only constant!
So raw, real, and authentic! Can’t wait to follow your journey with God and watch how He uses you!!
