Jennifer, 41

I find myself in a season of singleness and it has been a lonely road but worthwhile and with purpose. God does great work in us when he has our undivided attention. I was an independent child, a leader. People followed me. I was fearless. Sometime in my journey, I found myself lost. I grew impatient with God in what most people would consider an extremely early age and took my life into my own hands. For 20 years I endured heartbreak after heartbreak through several painful situations and was left in a state of brokenness. I was skeptical of love because I didn't love myself. Who would want me?

But God. Today on a walk, the words of a song like a breeze in and out of my heart. My eyes closed and I just felt Him near me.

"I can see your heart in everything You've made. Every burning star a signal fire of grace. If creation sings your praises, so will I. (Hillsong - So Will I)

I love when God reminds me of his perfect love for me. If I cannot conceive such a perfect love from my creator, then how can I ever love myself and others around me? His heart is in every creation. I am made in his image. I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

So this is my reminder, today. Maybe it's your reminder, too. You are deeply and passionately loved and adored. You are chased!
