Seen

“It’s nice to be truly seen and understood.”

The declaration took me by surprise. Truth be told, I didn’t have a response. The older I become, the more I find myself in situations where I’m speechless, and that’s okay!

I didn’t feel as though the interaction, or even the words shared would make such an impact. But the response moved me to tears.

I remember wanting to be seen. I remember my daughter, coming to a place where she realized that she was something, someone, seen.

Those moments in life, my friend, are some of the most precious moments I have experienced.

‭‭Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. Galatians 1:10 NIV

I feel like, sometimes, where we go wrong, is that we seek approval – validation, if you will, from people, rather than from God. We are more concerned with what other’s think of us rather than what God says about us. But thing is… God’s opinion is really the only one that matters. He is the only one that can destroy the soul. God help us…

I pray we are all ready when Jesus returns for His church, or we are called home, whichever comes first.
