Who loves you ….
When I awaken in the mornings, the first thing I do is pour a cup of coffee and head to the “bonus” room in our house. It is my room in which to study, pray, write, and just separate myself from thoughts of what needs to be done that day, or the sound of the news and westerns my husband loves to watch in the living room.
It is a quiet room. It keeps me sane most days, as sane as anyone can be in these troubling times. It is my peaceful place. Lots of thoughts and prayers have originated in this room. I love spending time here with the LORD, often thinking about how wonderful and gracious my LORD and Savior is to me.
I was sitting in my room the other day and read a meme on Facebook posted by a lovely young woman that I love very much. It began … “Do you ever sit back and realize ur not anybody’s favorite person ….”
Those words broke my heart and I wept. I wept because the world and life can be so cruel far too often. It seeks to isolate us from the love that others have, as well as to be blind to the love of God that flows to us in so many ways.
I am old and gray now. I have seen difficulties and triumphs. I have witnessed horrors and delights. I have seen too much and yet have not seen enough. I have held newborn babies and dying saints. In it all I cling to the words found in Psalm 27:10. “Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord cares for me.” [HCSB]
No matter what life holds, no matter the difficulties, the rejections, the loneliness, disappointments, or trials, even if those who should love me the most abandon me, “the Lord cares for me.”
No one … no one … ever cared for me like Jesus.
