When is the last time you took 5 minutes and wrote out some of the good things God is doing in your life? Gratitude is so good for your mind, body and spirit. Take a moment to be thankful today! Maybe label your list “Oh these things that I love” too!
I love how the Lord takes all the broken, messy pieces of our lives and weaves them into something beautiful, to be used for His glory.
I love how the trials we face do not define who we are, but the way we choose to face them does.
I love how God uses trials and adversity in our lives to draw us nearer to Him.
I love getting a glimpse of what heaven might be like when I see a child playing in the rain, a bird singing in the trees, or the sunlight dancing on the windowsill after a long storm.
I love that I am surrounded by people who are just as broken, flawed, and messy as I am, and that we keep looking to Jesus to get through this crazy world.
I love authenticity and genuine connection in my relationships. I thrive in this!
l love my beautiful friends who pour out their hearts over a warm cup of coffee or in the middle of a work lunch room.
I love that the beautiful people I call friends also include coworkers; it’s a rare treasure to work with people you love.
I love that I can rest in the fact that I will never be perfect, but I serve an awesome Creator who is.
I love knowing that the Holy Spirit dwells within me and is my #1 source for strength.
I love that some days my heart overflows with prayers for people I don’t even know.
I love being showered in God’s grace.
I love that my story, riddled with hardships like infertility, infidelity, divorce, and domestic abuse, have drawn me closer to Jesus instead of further away from Him, even though some days I still struggle with who He is and what He allows.
I love that while my life certainly isn’t working out as I expected, I can rest in the fact that God does. And that He has good plans for me (and for you), even when I don’t believe it or feel it.
I love that you’ve read this far and hope you find a few moments to consider what Jesus has done through all the highs and lows with you. He loves you so much, even if your heart doesn’t feel it or believe it sometimes!
Take gentle care of yourself today. ツ
