I think there's a reason this blogging business has become so rampant.
I think it's the same reason the '25 things' facebook activity spread like wildfire.
We all want to be known and loved.
We want to bear our souls and find approval from those who come our way.
So whether it's an anonymous passerby, or the choice few we share our thoughts with, I think we are looking for acceptance.
So let me not suggest my intentions are otherwise.
My soul, too, longs to be known and cherished.
BUT
The more I live, the more I know that this inherent desire of my heart may never be satisfied by the things of this physical world.
There is no one who could ever fully know or perfectly love me.
And that's okay.
I think that's how we're meant to live.
This desire inside of us points us to the only One who will ever know the depths of our hearts; to the One whose love will never falter.
Yes, even before the words of my mind leave my fingers, the God of this universe knows them - and He calls them beautiful.
He calls me beautiful. for He has created me.
I am His most precious and cherished daughter.
Because I have been baptized into His family, I have become royalty.
He is the King of creation and so I am His princess.
So whether or not I know it or seek affirmation through this blog...
There is a God who knows my name, who has counted the hairs on my head and has chosen to love me passionately.
