In between your words and
The meaning left behind them–
I took a trip around the world landing in
Exactly the same spot!
Who said,
“You’re broken!”
And as for being “unredeemable”
I am here to tell you,
“You’re loved.”
Beyond measure. Perhaps beyond reason. But
That’s the beauty of love! Love doesn’t need a reason.
Maybe that’s why we’re so afraid of love…we can’t control what
Love does or doesn’t
Do. We’re powerless over love…and so
We grieve when we think love is lost. But
How can love ever be lost when love
Is right here right now always transforming moment by
Moment in the space between your words and their meaning;
We are never separated from LOVE! Ever.
And yet…in this pain so deep and unspeakably real; there is a
Profound truth and beauty in grief.
When I say the words, “I love you” I mean that
I hold your pain close to my heart as a tiny creature to be cared for.
Do you get the picture?
I also long to hear the same words “I love you” from someone who
Means what he says…but maybe that’s just too much to ask of another.
I asked God to hold my pain. And
This is how I say to you will full confidence,
“You are loved.”

OMG! Nina, these words so resonated to what’s being weighing my heart to depth I feel like drowning. My words have been silent because my heart and mind are in conflict.

Oh dear Charlotte…🌷
So often this is the case, right? The mind and heart aren’t on speaking terms and no one is listening…so the words remain silent.
“I am loved. I am love.” Inhale…exhale…”I am loved. I am love.” Repeat.
Let your heart confess the truth to your mind. Conflict hurts, no? And then listen…
And remember:
Psalm 139:23-24:
“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! See if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!”
Recently I learned a beautiful prayer “what do You Lord want me to know about…(fill in the situation)?”
God won’t ever let us drown—even if it feels like it—if we call out to Him. Jesus wants us to trust…and dive deeper. 🐋
Charlotte—you are so loved! And I look forward to your words. 💖🙏🦋
