A Sea of Faces...

This world we live in is full of faces....a sea of them.
Happy ones, Melancholy ones.... so many different kinds.
I see so many faces every day being at college and driving around town, but this week I wondered if I actually looked close enough to see who they really are.

I also noticed that humans are so good at hiding insecurities. Make up over this pimple, baggy clothes over this part of me I don't like, dress to get attention and to hide that my soul is chained up...
We hide so much that we are not fully sure who we are anymore.
If we don't know who we are, then we search for anything.
If we hide who we are, then we won't know who we are at all eventually.
I see so many girls my age who just want any attention they can get, they want the status of being popular, they want to feel perfect. But when they get there, they are even emptier and more broken then they started.

My heart broke as I looked a people and saw these things while I was out and about this week. It broke because I know the one thing that can fix this for them.  Jesus.

God sees us as we are. He loves us when we are happy, and when we are upset. He loves us when we succeed and loves us when we mess up.  He loves every hair on our head, and loves us when our "imperfections" are all over...to Him we could never be imperfect.  He sees when we are broken hearted, and He longs for us to know that we are found in Him and that He sees our tears.  He loves us for who we are, and we are His.


I have had to remember this as I am in my new stage in life. I am His. How amazing and refreshing is that? We are loved and His. How blessed are we?

As you go throughout this new week, look around and look deeper at those around you and remind someone that our Father loves them. There is no greater Love than that.

Blessings,
