Not Made for this World

There are days when I find myself so weary. I long so, so badly for ...
I can't put my finger on it.
I long for something I cannot reach, not from here.
I long for a connection that is supernatural.
I long for someone to truly see my soul.
I long to be loved perfectly.
I long
Oh how I long...
For HOME.
"Home?" you say,
"What do I mean?" you ask,
This is not my home!
I do not belong here!
I was not created for this place!
I was not created to experience sickness, sorrow, pain, dissapointment, rejection, war, poverty, loss, seperation or hate. I was NOT created to experience the many, many downfalls of this earth, I was not created to live and grow and flourish in a place were evil rules.
No I was created for something much greater. I was created to bask in the Glory of an almighty God. I was created to shine with the same glory. I was created to be loved perfectly. I was created to love others perfectly. I was created to be accepted. I was created to be perfect. I was. So were you.
I was created to rest in the strong arms of my awesome Father. I was created to praise and love Him with all my heart, soul, strength and all my mind. He loves me like this. And you.
No you see I was created for something much greater than this earth. So much greater. And someday I will be Home. And I will be in Perfect Love and Peace at all times.
Oh how I long for that day, how I long to be home with my Daddy.

2 Corinthians 5:8
" We are confident, I say, to be away from the body and at home with the Lord."

A Blank Pallet

You did not start as a blank pallet. Though many think this is so.

A blank pallet is empty and formless. It has no beauty or ugliness, no good or evil, no character or thought. It is nothing.

You did not begin as nothing. You began as something glorious and marvelous. So beautiful one cannot stand to gaze upon you, but cannot bare to look away.

You began with so much love. So much good and potential. You began with the strength to move mountains, the power to raise the dead, and the faith to love the unlovable.

You began pure and holy with no weakness or bondage. You began as no other creation has.


You see you did not begin as a blank pallet, but as a mirror. A mirror that reflects the perfect image of God.

Unfortunately this world is not made to preserve mirrors.

As the years go by and life happens, we become smudged, scratched, weak and broken.

BUT,

There is one thing and one thing only that can restore us back to that glorious reflection of God.

GRACE.

Grace doesn't even just put us back together for there would still be cracks. Grace makes us into an entirely new mirror again. Grace allows to reflect the perfect image of God, no matter how many times life cracks us.

You were never a blank pallet. You always have been and always will be a mirror. it is up to you what you reflect.
