Have you found yourself pulling away from the people around you? Is the unrealistic expectation of how others should treat you or view you one of the reasons you remain alone? We’ve all been there, we are all prone to the habit of isolating ourselves to our “safe” space, yet by keeping any ounce of pain out, we also keep out the love and the joy we receive from the world. Isolation is a dangerous trap, it promises safety and comfort yet hands us the complete opposite. You’re not alone. The Lord is calling us near to Him, He knows exactly the nature of who we are and still chooses to call us to Himself. If we are fully known by Him, and fully Loved by Him, then what is stopping us? Today is the day to live loved and accepted, no matter your mess.
