daughter of a King

I have learned a lot in my short time here. I’ve learned that the things I’ve always considered “essential” are actually not. I have learned that it’s okay to talk to someone about the things that are bothering me. I have also learned that God is not really who I thought He was; in fact, He’s a lot more. Before the race, I really thought it was okay to leave Him out of most things and only invite Him in when needed, that isn’t it anymore. 

I have been blessed with an amazing relationship with my earthly father. He is an amazing man of God and I look up to Him in so many ways, I don’t think I would be even close to where I am now without him. I know and see the love and care that he has for me and my little sister, and I have no doubt that he would do anything for us. But he isn’t perfect, he’s messed up time and time again, and sometimes I seek certain things from him, that because he’s imperfect, he cannot give me. 

But, I do have a Father that is perfect. My heavenly Father. I’ve always known this,but I’ve only just now started to dig into what that means and looks like. I had a crazy revelation the other day that is good truthhhh,so i’ll share!! My heavenly father, king of all kings, name above all names, is so beyond capable of comforting and providing for me in ways that I’ve been longing for this whole time. I cannot search for that in earthly things or earthly people; I’ll just end up in a place worse than where I came from. 

And not only is this guy my Father but I am His daughter ; insane. Literally beyond comprehension. He loves and cares for me for all my days, he shows up when no one else does and literally leaves the 99 for me!!!! Like…me!!! this very underqualified, undeserving, messed up human. (Sorry, it all just blows my mind.) He’s also the father of you and you and you. 

Also, turning to scripture and seeing all these things written down in real life is even crazier, like what… 

1 John 3:1- “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.” (When the bible uses exclamation points, you know its good) 

Hebrews 12:7- “Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as His children…” 

Psalm 103:13- “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him”
