Thoughtful...

By now, you probably get that i like lions. It's pretty clear. But today lions keep coming up for me. And it's funny, everywhere i look i see a sign in the window for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Which i don't really think is a coincidence.

Why does a lion keep coming to my mind? Well, i can't be sure, but i think the Lord is using the picture of a lion to reinforce the notion that when i am weak, He is strong.

He is thoughtful of me. Even when i'm not thoughtful of Him. Mindful of me. Even when i ignore His voice. He chooses me. Even when my actions suggest that i choose otherwise.

And it's important to know that i don't have to fully understand this love. I don't have to wrap my brain around grace completely. I just have to accept it.

So, here's the point of my monday ramblings. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to have God figured out. You don't have to "have it all together." To me, there is beauty in not having it all together. And the truth is, i don't know exactly what is going on in your life. So I will just say this. Simply because someone needs to hear this today. He is there. Right in the midst of your broken relationship. Right there in the stress of waiting on the phone call that may mean you have to move. Or that someone you care about will have to move. There in the loneliness. There in the confusion. There in the hurt.

Believe it.
