He Noticed Me

I don't know how they do it! Those in this world who don't have Christ to lean on. Those in this world who don't have the love and prayers from strangers as I have, lifting them up before God. How do they get up when life knocks them down without the help of the Holy Spirit? How do they lift their weary heads when sadness and hurt bends them to the ground? Who quenches their thirst? Who holds them close and tells them that they don't have to worry, fret, wonder because their loving Father has all the answers and is directing their future?

I feel so fortunate, so unworthy, so very, very thankful to have God's love and your prayers during this journey. I have been referring to it as my sorrow, my sadness, my heartache, my storm. I see now that I must call this time my testing, my sharpening, part of my journey towards becoming more like my Jesus. Because of Christ, I can truly bow my head and whisper through the tears, "thank you, thank you, thank you Lord. You have chosen me as your own. You have called me to a higher purpose. You have noticed me. Let me say that last one again. You have noticed me!" Isn't that an astounding thought? The same God who knows the stars by name and hung the planets in the sky, noticed me. And He noticed you. And He holds all the keys to my life and He alone knows what to do, when to do it, when to hold back. And He holds all the keys to your life. And we are so blessed. We are so incredibly blessed. We are not alone. Praise God. We are not on this journey alone!!
