So lately I've been praying for the heart of the Father... but today I started seeing a lot of it in my everyday life. As I was walking down the halls, I began to see HIS face in their faces. I started hearing His thoughts about them... "I love you, I love you, I love you. I did this all for you.." and my heart absolutely broke for them. I just felt this intense, pure love toward all of them. I wanted them to know Him!
And then I started understanding.. "I died for you. I hung on the cross for you. Every lash was another sin, every drop of blood was another time you would deny Me. And yet, I did this all for you. Even though I knew you would choose your sin over Me time and time again. Even though I knew that you would value your flesh over eternity, I did this for you. My precious sons and daughters, don't you see how much My love is for you? How infinitely sweet, how tender, how pure, how unfailing and abounding?"
And in every face I saw their brokenness. I saw their pain, their struggle.
We have what the world is missing. We have what they are thirsting for, what their souls long for. We have the very presence of God, alive inside of us. And yet we don't share it nearly enough. I can see the hunger in their eyes. I can hear the longing in their voices.
And above all the noise, I can hear God whispering His love over each and every one.

Romans 8:19
For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].
(amplified)
in the same way that God wants to be known, we want to be known by God, and in the same way that we are wounded, He is wounded for love for us.
let this truth become true to YOU, sarah, you are worth it. you are pure, beautiful, clean, bright, you are so desired by God. dont let shame in anymore, God loves YOU, sarah, He did it all for YOU.
YOU are awesome.
Father, I ask that you continue to reveal yourself to Sarah. Infuse her with your strength, love, truth and wisdom.
Draw her deep within your heart and teach her to live from that sacred space. Give her your words, your thoughts and your heart to cling to as breath.
We praise you for the awesome work you are doing in Sarah. We bless your holy name and we thank you. Amen
